Odroid N2+

Hello @ll,

i am running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi3+. Due to more an more Automations, Devices, … i want to change to ODroid N2+.

I read the installation documentation and i think i can do this. In the first part of the documentation it is explaned by using the sd card an so so, but then there is another chapter with “Containers”. Ist the N2+ using containers or is is it the same as on raspberry pi with no restrictions (no supervisor etc.). This is my first question on this topic.

The second one is what hardware i will need for n2+. I think, the N2+, an DC Adapter (12V/2,5A) a case? Do I need an eMMC which size, which os? Do I need anything else but an microSD Card (i already have)?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance, my not so perfect english and greetings from germany!

My shopping cart (withount an emmc). Is this suitable for my installation of home assistant?

You can run on either micro sd or emmc. Emmc is a better choice as it has longer life and is faster. You could probably get away with an 8G emmc or sd card, but I always go bigger. 16G would have plenty of space. 32G is overkill. That said I’ve used 32G with most of my N2s. To give you an idea of emmc size. I have one location running a 16G card (reports as 15G), 6.5G is actually used and it has 7.7G available. What you have in your card is good, just add an emmc. It’s also nice to have one of the console port adapters odroid sales. It gives you access to command line when things go bad. Here’s a good site with scripts for building a debian 11 image if you’re looking to go the supervised install route, which I see as the best option.
