![]() ![]() This could be a board of great interest to our readers, so we ordered one for review. The parcel from Korea arrived in due course, the C2 in its box inside it well protected by a sturdy cardboard outer packaging. We had ordered a couple of extras: a micro-SD card preloaded with Ubuntu and a USB power lead (more on that later), both were present and correct. When unpacking the board it is immediately obvious how closely they’ve followed the Raspberry Pi form factor. There are a few differences, no camera or DSI connectors, the SD card in a different place, a power jack where the Pi has its audio jack, and oddly the network port is the other way up. Otherwise it looks as though it should fit most Pi cases. Of course the only case we had to hand was a PiBow which are cut for specific Pi models, so sadly we couldn’t test that assertion.Īside from the Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and GPIO ports, most of the top of the board is occupied by a low-profile heatsink that covers the processor and two of the RAM chips. There is a UART socket and infrared receiver at the end opposite the USB and network ports, and a 2.5mm power jack next to the HDMI socket. The SD card is in a slightly unusual position The micro-USB power is a USB OTG port and not the power port you might be expecting in this form factor.
