ODROID-N2L - A smaller, less expensive version of the ODROID-N2+ Arm SBC

A 69 x 56mm (2.7′′ x 2.2′′) single-board computer from Hardkernel featuring an Amlogic S922X hexa-core processor, up to 4GB of RAM, compatibility for up to eMMC and microSD card storage, and a starting price of $59 is available now.

ODROID-N2L - A smaller, less expensive version of the ODROID-N2+ Arm SBC

The ODROID-N2L is significantly smaller than its larger sister, the ODROID-N2+, and a Raspberry Pi Model B. A few features had to be sacrificed by Hardkernel in order to reduce the size, however, the firm claims that these concessions were made in response to consumer requests for a smaller model.


Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth are not supported by the new ODROID-N2L. You'll need a USB adaptor if you want to add any network connectivity. Fewer USB ports and no separate audio connectors are present. And the speed of the CPU is a little bit slower.


Hardkernel claims that the ODROID-2NL is appropriate for robots, drones, arcade consoles, and other systems that do not need built-in networking capability due to its reduced size, which makes it easy to attach the device "to a variety of compact devices."


The tiny computer also switches its DDR4 memory for LPDDR4 memory, which uses less room. The benefit, according to Hardkernel, is that LPDDR4 memory is speedier and consumes less power.

The ODROID-N2L and ODROID-N2main +'s characteristics are summarised below.
