The ODROID-C2 has many advantages over the Raspberry Pi3. The processor is an S905 ARM-64bit 1.5GHz Quad-core with 2GByte DDR3 RAM, Gigabit-Ethernet and IR-receiver.
The size of this computer is still only 85 x 56 mm with a weight of 70g, and offers silent operation, 2~5W average power usage, and instant portability, since it fits in a shirt pocket.
Operating system (Ubuntu or Android) can be purchased separately on UHS-1 MicroSD card, as well as the faster eMMC module.
The ODROID-C2 also has a 40+7pin GPIO header to make a physical interface between the board and the outside world.
The 40+7pin interface headers include PWM, I2C, I2S, UART, ADC and GPIO function.
Please note this board does not have an RTC onboard
The IR receiver and ADC features on the ODROID-C2 offer many options for building great DIY projects.
