ODROID-C1/U3 ... as targets ?

Any information/ideas/opinions about these very interesting devices regarding Risc OS ? Is Mali support difficult ? Is it more “Open” than the normal PI hardware ?

I’m in possession of the Odroid C1. I’m mainly running NetBSD on it, but it’ll run Android and various flavors of Linux. There’s a very trimmed-down FreeBSD variant called NAS4free that works nicely on the C1. That latter code base is only ~50MB, so might serve as a nice takeoff point for information about how to approach the hardware.

I’d like to see a port of RiscOS to the Odroid C1. I’m not sure how much technical information is available directly from hardkernel, but the FreeBSD guys apparently got it.
The C1 is 1.5Ghz on four cores, and is very snappy. It might be a nice fill-in for the defunct beagleboard/pandaboard series.

I rather thought the IGEPv5 boards filled that spot, given the OMAP SoC use and the existing (not yet complete) port.

System kits and supporting software are (allegedly) going to be available from he-who-sells-most-stuff-for-risc-os to accompany the fully assembled kits

IGEPv5 is a good choice. But next step could be BeagleBoard X15.
Especially the single core low cost version.

After the IGEPv5 you mean?

I notice the power in is 12V and the fuse as fitted in the demo board is 5 amp.
60VA – bit of a beast in modern ARM board terms?

There is no miracle. More power = more power :)

The Odroid C1 looks more like a Raspberry Pi 2-class board (although Gigabit Ethernet would surely be nice – not even connected via USB according to the block diagram), at least the CPU.

Not sure in what way BeagleBoard and PandaBoard are “defunct”.

IGEPv5 is nice, but rather expensive. A cut-down single-core BeagleBoard-X15 would be an ideal platform for RISC OS.
