ODROID-N2
N2 PCB revision and LOT number history
| LOT(Year+Month) | PCB Revision | Description |
| 1901 | rev0.3 20190117 | Sample |
| 1903 | rev0.4 20190307 | 1st Mass Production |
| 2006 | rev0.5 20200406 | N2+ |
| 2010 | rev0.5 20200406 | As the ODROID-C4 board, the 3.3V(Pin#1) power rail of the 40pin expansion connector has been changed to be Always-ON in the shutdown mode. |
| 2011 | ||
| 2102 | rev0.5 20200406 | To lower the electrical stress to the GL3523 hub controller, the GL3523 power source has changed to 5V from 3.3V by using internal regulator. Mount a zero ohm resistor between the source and drain of Q1 instead of the FET As a negative side effect, the PWR red LED does dimly turn on even when the system turns off. This issue appears with the production batch of EL2102 only. |
| 2106 | rev0.6 20210121 | The power of GL3523 is completely isolated from the 3.3 V system power rail. Between the VDDOAO_3V3 and the VCC3V3 net, it was changed to integrated load SW instead of discrete PMOS FET. |
| 2111 | rev0.6 20210121 | The SPI flash memory manufacturer has been changed to XTX from MXIC, and the firmware version of Petiboot been updated to 20211112 to work with the XTX flash memory. |
| 2202 | rev0.6 20210121 | Due to the semiconductor shortage, the maximum DC input voltage was lowered from 18V to 16V to use to FirstSilicon's FC6811 from FC3470. |
| 2208 | rev0.6 2020517 | the rev0.6 2020121 version and schematic are the same, but the footprint of the low acoustic capacitor on the PCB has been changed. |
We did not change the PCB revision because any key features were not changed nor added.

We recommend powering the ODROID-N2/C4 with a good quality 12V/2A power adapter. However, using a good quality 15V/4A power adapter is also OK if you already have one handy.
Note that 15V/4V is not necessary for the N2, N2+ and C4, 12V/2A is plenty enough. On the other hand 15V/4A is required for the HC4 and the H2 series because these boards may power mechanical hard drives.
