Apart from being a good mobile development platform, the 2 GB RAM could make the board a pretty good native ARM build machine under Ubuntu, as I?ve read 1 GB RAM is not always enough at link stage (e.g. for Debian packages, sorry I can?t find the link), unless you use swap which tremendously slows things down.
The rest of the board seems identical and it just looks the same as the first version. Charbax shot a video of Hardkernel ODroid-X2 development board at ARM Techcon 2012:
HardKernel unveiled the ODROID-X development board based on Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 with quad core Mali-400 GPU, 1 GB Low Power DDR2 and storage is done via SD card and/or eMMC flash.
The company provides an Android 4.0.4 SDK and is working on an Ubuntu 12.04 port (GPU hardware acceleration is still missing). The platform source code (u-boot, kernel and Android) and documentation will be available on HardKernel Downloads page once the boards ship out. You?ll be able to obtain the board and CPU module schematics once you receive the board, but not the gerber or layout files.
ODROID-X can be purchased now on Hardkernel eStore for $129 (+ $30 shipping) and will be shipped by the end of July. Korean can pay 150,000 Won for the board. AFAIK, this is the cheapest quad core Cortex A9 board available today by a fair margin (The cheapest Freescale i.MX6 board is $199).
In order to keep the cost low (I assume), they did not include features such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but offers the following modules:
Those modules appear to be fairly standard, so you may procure via other means. They also offer cables (HDMI, USB?), SD card and power supply, but you might be better off buying those locally although their prices are reasonable.
You can find more information on HardKernel ODROID-X page and on their forums.
Rem. เสียดาย Board แรงๆ แบบนี้น่าจะทำเป็น Android TV Player หรือ Android Media Player ลงกล่องให้สวยงาม
และมี eSata Port + Wireless N + Ait Fly 2.4GHz Remote รับรองว่าขายดีแน่นอน 555.
