ODROID-M2 is based on Rockchip RK3588S2 processor featuring an octa-core CPU (4× Cortex-A76 + 4× Cortex-A55) and a Mali-G610 GPU. It integrates a 6-TOPS NPU, LPDDR5 memory, and high-speed storage options.
The board provides 40-pin and 14-pin GPIO headers operating at 3.3V logic levels, supporting GPIO, UART, I²C, SPI, PWM, ADC, and analog audio.

Compatibility
- 3.3V logic level
- Supports I²C, SPI, UART, PWM & ADC
- Dual GPIO headers (40-pin + 14-pin)
- DC barrel-jack powered
- Built-in RTC with battery backup
- Not Raspberry Pi HAT compatible
Software support
- Android 13 (AOSP)
- Ubuntu 20.04 / 24.04
- Kernel 5.10

Usage notes
- Many pins are multiplexed and configured via software/device tree
- The 14-pin header differs from ODROID-M1S (no USB 2.0 signals, different power rails)
- Some interfaces require enabling in the OS
- Use a stable 12V power supply for best performance
- GPIO headers are not Raspberry Pi compatible
