8 ODROID-XU4 USER MANUALTechnical specificationsProcessorSamsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15 2Ghz and Cortex™-A7 Octacore CPUs with Mali Mali-T628 MP6 GPUStorageThere are two different methods of storage for the operating sys-tem. The first is by using a microSD Card and another is by insertingan eMMC module, which is normally used for storage for smartphonesand digital cameras.eMMC 5.0 module socket8GB/64GB : Toshiba16GB/32GB : Sandisk iNAND ExtremeThe eMMC storage access time is 2-3 times faster than the SDcard. You can purchase 4 size options: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.Using an eMMC module will increase speed and responsiveness, sim-ilar to the way in which upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) in atypical PC also improves performance over a mechanical hard drive(HDD).Micro Secure Digital (microSD) card slotThe ODROID-XU4 can utilize a newer UHS-1 SD model, whichis about twice as fast as a class 10 card. There are some microSDcards which cause an additional boot delay time of around 30 sec-onds. According to our testing, most Sandisk microSD cards don’tcause a long boot delay. The ODROID-XU4 model is compatible witha wide array of microSD cards, but class 10 cards or above are highlyrecommended.5V 4A DC inputThe DC input is for 5V power input, with an inner diameter of2.1mm, and an outer diameter of 5.5mm.USB host portsThere is one USB 2.0 host port and two USB 3.0 ports. You canplug a keyboard, mouse, WiFi adapter, storage or many other devic-es into these ports. You can also charge your smartphone with it! Ifyou need more than 3 ports, you can use an external USB hub. Aself-powered hub will also reduce the power load on the main device.Chapter 1
