content: ODROID-XU4 is a new generation of computing device with more powerful, more energy-efficient hardware and a smaller form factor, offering open source support, the board can run various flavors of Linux, including the latest Ubuntu. USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces boast amazing data transfer speeds, a feature that is increasingly required to support advanced processing power on ARM devices.Features:Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15 2Ghz and Cortex™-A7 Octa core CPUsMali-T628 MP6(OpenGL ES 3.0/2.0/1.1 and OpenCL 1.1 Full profile)2Gbyte LPDDR3 RAM PoP stackedeMMC5.0 HS400 Flash Storage2 x USB 3.0 Host, 1 x USB 2.0 HostGigabit Ethernet portHDMI 1.4a for displaySize : 82 x 58 x 22 mm approx.(including cooling fan)Price: between 90 and 110 euroWhat do you think guys ?

content: It's been out for a while, I have one running Arch as a backup system. It has good throughput on the gigabit ethernet and USB 3. Not as fast as a real machine, but not too far behind either. A typical desktop can hit 80-90 MB/s running rsync over gigabit ethernet and dumping to disk, I'm able to do about 57 MB/s on the XU4 to an external 7200 RPM drive on USB 3.The processor is very powerful as well, kicks the crap out of everything else out there.My only grievance is the fan. It's loud and is constantly starting/stopping, it can be really annoying if it's within ear shot.

content: I'd like to use it as "cross compiler machine", to be attached to a 68060 board I am developing, in this case it will run gcc-m68k plus a few debugger and a ROM emulator which works over the usb2 port. it should be fineCurrently I am usingFOX G20by ACME System, bought on ebay for 20 euro as second hand, it's fine even powered by a slow 400Mhz core.I need to attach an external USB2-sATA hard drive, with a bandwidth of 20Mbyte/sec at least (used to record the stream from the LA module)
