Odroid C2: interesting 64-bit ARM board

<http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=18683> Kind of Raspberry Pi format. Should be out next month. On paper: US$40. Reality, in Canada, $75, without shipping, power supply, or case. <http://www.ca.diigiit.com/odroid-c2> - will run Ubuntu (but how much of it is proprietary?) - uses Amlogic S905 2GHz Quad Core A53 Mali 450 GPU - 2G RAM - HDMI 2.0! - gigabit ethernet! - 4 x USB2.0 host, 1 USB 2.0 OTG - as well as UHS-1 microSD interface, eMMC socket (The eMMC is quite a bit faster than SD but cards are more expensive) (Perhaps UHS-1 interface supports cards larger than 32G) Looks much more interesting to me than the LeMaker Hikey. But does the C2 have UEFI firmware?

No I wouldn't think so, and a quick search appears to say it is u-boot, which is what I would expect on such a board. -- Len Sorensen
