The Odroid-HC4 features the 1.8 GHz Amlogic S905X3 ARM Cortex-A55 Quad-Core processor with Mali G31 MP2 Graphics Processing Unit just like the Odroid-C4. The Odroid-HC4 is a Home Cloud-based board. DDR4 4GB RAM is the memory on the board. The HC4 has an SPI 16MiB flash chip with Petitboot support. 

Note: OLED is not included in this HC4 Variant.

What is new with Odroid-HC4 

The Odroid-HC4 has a consistent SATA bridge solution (PCIe to SATA) as an alternative of USB3.0 to SATA. This way, 2x SATA storage docks are supported by HC4. This board has a transparent case with cutouts for ports and board interfaces.

Odroid-HC4 Software Compatibility

Petitboot is adept to automatically locate the OS on the SSD, HDD, or SD Card. Meaning that in case SD-Card is not present, the Petitboot will use the attached SSD or the HDD to boot the Odroid-HC4 if the OS is installed on any of the storage units.  

The already installed OS Image from Hardkernel is attuned with Debian and Ubuntu Operating Systems. Ubuntu or Debian Netboot installer can also be used. 

The following versions of Linux Kernel are supported by Odroid-HC4: 

• Mainline Kernel (unofficial) version 5.8 or higher 
• Hardkernel Stock OS version 4.9.230 or higher
