XU4

My first impression

  • I am using Ubuntu mate 15.10 image on my 32G microSD
  • Need to switch the boot lever (next to the HDMI port) from eMMC to microSD
  • The graphical desktop is VERY sharp on my 1920x1080 Samsung lcd. But for some reason, my 9" lcd screen (1024x600) shows a black screen. Its gpu is Mali-T628 6 cores.
  • The cpu fan gets a little annoying (see the cpu fan control below)
  • youtube.com doesn't work:(
  • the processor (Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15 2Ghz and Cortex™-A7 Octa core CPUs) has 4 1.4GHz cores and 4 2.0GHz cores.
  • Configure my bluetooth keyboard is easy. I am using a wired mouse.
  • no need to run resize (the microSD) as it was automatically done

cpu fan control

cd
git clone https://github.com/mad-ady/odroid-cpu-control.git
sudo odroid-cpu-control/odroid-cpu-control -s -g "powersave" -m 600M
odroid-cpu-control/odroid-cpu-control -l
watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo
  • Google: odroid cpu governor

cpu temperature

~/odroid-cpu-control/odroid-cpu-control -l -t
# or to watch in real time (ctrl C to stop)
watch ~/odroid-cpu-control/odroid-cpu-control -l -t

I2C write error on boot
