Review on πŸ’₯ Enhanced ODROID XU4 with Active Cooling System and Reliable Power Supply by Robert Hayes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of power for an SBC, plus a few headaches.

Fast but picky. I've been spending quite a bit of time with the SBC, this one is powerful but more demanding than others I've used. In order to get a working SD-based installation, I had to use a special Odroid image burning program. I am currently running Android TV on my XU4 and using an Odroid wireless USB port. The first hour with this SBC was frustrating until I found the Odroid Image Burner. I wanted to return the XU4. If you're having trouble, make sure you get a modded burner. I was using Windows, this may not be a problem if you use the Linux command line when placing an image on the SD card. XU4 works well with Android TV. I installed Hulu and Kodi. I've heard that the Netflix app is the same as the mobile app and doesn't support HD, but I have yet to test that.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Approximately
