EDITORIAL
The exciting news this month is that ODROIDs are now available for
sale in the United States from http://www.ameridroid.com! Based in
California, Ameridroid offers affordable shipping for domestic cus-
tomers, and US residents will receive packages much faster. Here
is an excerpt from their website:
“Maybe your story is the same.
Santa answered a 7-year-old’s letter
with a shiny soldering iron. Before
long, he was taking apart electronics
and salvaging the parts to make a crystal
radio. He hooked up the antenna lead to
his aluminum window screen next to his bed (for
better reception) and listened to AM radio sta-
tions through an earphone (mono, of course) as
he drifted off to sleep dreaming of his next electronics project.
We live in a wonderful time. A time where technology is less a de-
ciding factor on what we can invent, as long as we can imagine it. A time when
powerful computing starts way less than $100. We love inventing things. A lot of
our ideas require computing power. Therefore, we love single-board computers.
When it comes to single-board computers, and you want raw computing horse-
power for cheap, ODROID is the clear leader. We want to hear about your inven-
tions! Send a description and a picture, and we may feature it on our site!”
If you’ve been waiting for a more affordable version of the XU3, Hardkernel
has just announced the $99 XU3-Lite. It comes with all of the features of the
original XU3, except that it removes the DisplayPort, the current and voltage
sensors, and uses an Exynos 5422 processor clocked at 1.8/1.3 GHz instead of
2.0+/1.4 GHz for the original board. For the original press release, please visit
http://bit.ly/1sf7bji.
This month, we feature BOINC, the application that lets you participate in a
worldwide supercomputing network with an ODROID, some X86 emulators, a
step-by-step installation of the KVM virtualization application for the XU3, as
well as the third installment of the popular Unmanned Ground Vehicle series.
Venkat brings us guides to Node.js and Open Media Vault, and the OS spotlight
this month is about Code Monkey, an all-in-one developer’s image. It comes
packed with compilers, development environments, and code management tools
so you can get started with programming on the ODROID right away.

I’m a computer
programmer living
and working in San
Francisco, CA, design-
ing and building web applications
for local clients on my network
cluster of ODROIDs. My primary
languages are jQuery, Angular JS
and HTML5/CSS3. I also develop
pre-built operating systems, custom
kernels and optimized applications
for the ODROID platform based
on Hardkernel’s official releases, for
which I have won several Monthly
Forum Awards. I use my ODROIDs
for a variety of purposes, including
media center, web server, applica-
tion development, workstation, and
gaming console. You can check out
my 100GB collection of ODROID
software, prebuilt kernels and OS

I am President of
Respectech, Inc., a
technology consultancy
in Ukiah, CA, USA that I founded in
2001. From my background in elec-
tronics and computer programming, I
manage a team of technologists, plus
develop custom solutions for companies
ranging from small businesses to world-
wide corporations. ODROIDs are one
of the weapons in my arsenal for tack-
ling these projects. My favorite devel-
opment languages are Rebol and Red,
both of which run fabulously on ARM-
based systems like the ODROID-U3.
Regarding hobbies, if you need some,
I’d be happy to give you some of mine
as I have too many. That would help
me to have more time to spend with my
wonderful wife of 23 years and my four
beautiful children.

I am 31 years old and
live in Seville, Spain,
and was born in Granada. I am mar-
ried to a wonderful woman and have
a child. A few years ago I worked as a
computer technician and programmer,
but my current job is related to quality
management and information technol-
ogy: ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO
20000. I am passionate about comput-
er science, especially microcomputers
such as the ODROID and Raspberry
Pi. I love experimenting with these
computers. My wife says I’m crazy be-
cause I just think of ODROIDs! My
other great hobby is mountain biking,
and I occasionally participate in semi-
professional competitions.
