Can someone explain what prevents a board like this from supporting USB3 (vs. the Odroid boards)?
I either want something much smaller and cheaper for IoT tinkering or something with USB3 and gigabit ethernet for NAS and high-bandwidth sensors (cameras and depth cameras). Does anyone know a board in the latter category?

- tyingq 10y ago>what prevents a board like this from supporting USB3 The choice of which CPU/SoC (system on chip) drives that. The Odroids that support USB3 have an Amlogic CPU that includes USB3. This board has a Rockchip RK3288 that does not support it.
- bayesian_horse 10y agoThe Odroid XU4 comes to mind.

- mng2 10y agoIt's probably a price point issue. The latest Odroids have Exynos SoCs with the latest feature set and a price to match. Anything lower market is not going to have the chip IP, internal data bus, and high-speed transceiver IP to support these interfaces because the markets the SoCs were originally aimed at (cellphones, set-top boxes, IoT junk) don't need them.
