Expansion Connectors

The Odroid-U3 povides two expansion sockets which one 8-pin dual row expansion socket “J4” and other 4-pin dual row socket “J5”. The location and pinout of these connectors is illustrated blew.
All signals on expansion headers are 1.8V level


J4 - 2×4 pins(IO Port #1)

Pin Number Net Name GPIO & Export No Pin Number Net Name GPIO & Export No
1 XEINT_8 GPX1.0 (#199) 2 1.8V
3 XEINT_9 GPX1.1 (#200) 4 XURXD_0 /dev/ttySAC0
5 XEINT_13 GPX1.5 (#204) 6 XUTXD_0 /dev/ttySAC0
7 GND 8 5V0

J5 - 2×2 pins(IO Port #2)
This socket is not provides at revision 0.3

Pin Number Net Name GPIO & Export No Pin Number Net Name GPIO & Export No
1 XSPICLK_1 GPB.4 (#21) 2 XSPICSN_1 GPB.5 (#22)
3 XSPIMOSI_1 GPB.7 (#24) 4 XSPIMISO_1 GPB.6 (#23)

LED Indicators

RED LED(D3)- Power

  • ON when it is Hooked up to 5V power.
  • OFF when it is not Hooked up to 5V power.

BLUE LED(D2)- ALIVE

  • dimly solid on when u-boot is running.
  • blinking when Kernel is running(heart beat).
