ODROID-XU4 is a new generation of computing device with more powerful, more energy-efficient hardware and a smaller form factor. \\
Offering open source support, the board can run various flavors of Linux, including the latest Ubuntu 16.04 and Android 4.4 KitKat and 7.1 Nougat.\\ 
By implementing the eMMC 5.0, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the ODROID-XU4 boasts amazing data transfer speeds,\\
 a feature that is increasingly required to support advanced processing power on ARM devices.\\
This allows users to truly experience an upgrade in computing, especially with faster booting, web browsing, networking, and 3D games.

**The XU4 is fully software compatible with XU3!**

**However, the XU4 is more compact, more affordable and more expandable.
**

Schematics and drawings are available here.

====== LED Indicators ======
The ODROID-XU4 has four indicator LEDs that provide visual feedback.

1. Red LED
  * Power: Hooked up to 5V power

2. Blue LED

  * Alive Solid light : u-boot is running

  * Flashing : Kernel is running (heart beat)

====== UART Console Connector ======
<code>
_____UART____
|Pin 4 - GND|
|Pin 3 - RXD|
|Pin 2 - TXD|
|Pin 1 - VCC|
\___________|

1.8V LVTTL interface
Pin 1 : 1.8Volt output from XU4 board for the reference voltage for USB-UART board.
</code>


====== HDMI Reverse current ======

When you "pull out" the DC plug (HDMI still connected), the red LED stays ON if the HDMI monitor/TV generates some amount of reverse current.\\
It may needs about 5 to 15 seconds to discharge the current. \\
Before full discharging, the DC-jack connection may not start the board automatically. \\
You need to remove the HDMI cable or wait enough time of full discharging.\\


====== USB VBUS control issue ======

There is no way to control the USB host power(VBUS) with software due to a missing control register.\\


====== Caution : Over-Voltage Protection feature =======

<WRAP round important 80%>
** Caution : Over-Voltage Protection feature ** \\
1. The power source must be connected to the DC-Jack. \\
2. Maximum over-voltage must be lower than 16Volt.\\
</WRAP>

====== MicroSD Socket Handling Precautions  ======

 1. If your MicroSD-card doesn't satisfy following conditions, change to a new card.
  * The dimensions of the card must be standards. 
  * Make especially sure that the standard deviation due to wear.
  * The wear of the pads will cause extremely negative side effect.

 2. Excessive external force to the connector may be a case of causing damage.\\ Operation as shown in the figure below, please do not do.
  * The slope of the sides of the card insertion extraction direction.
  * Twisting vertical and horizontal directions of the card in the inserted state.

{{:en:xu4:microsdsocket_handlingprecautions1.png?640}}

 3. To make a minimal volume of the connector, the card detection parts are exposed partially. So any excessive plugging force can break it like red ellipse part.
