ODROID M1S + IO Header
Reduced power consumption and slimmer form factor
We are pleased to unveil the ODROID-M1S, a product meticulously developed over the past six months. The new iteration boasts a 20% reduction in thickness, a 20% decrease in power consumption, the addition of 14 header pins, and a built-in 64GB eMMC chip on the board. What's more, we have adjusted the pricing to an affordable $49, which includes a case, heatsink, and power adapter. This strategic pricing aims to significantly lower the overall cost of constructing your own embedded systems, fostering affordability and sustainability. To ensure lasting support, particularly for industrial applications, we commit to supplying this product until at least 2036.
The innovative approach involved leveraging 3D modeling from the early PCB design stages, facilitating precise and rapid case development. The collaborative efforts between circuit design and mechanical design were remarkably smooth, making this project a memorable development in the realm of novel and efficient product creation.
The M1S features the RK3566 System-on-Chip (SOC), a sibling of the RK3568 found in the original M1. This design enables the reuse of a significant portion of software development. While the bootloader and kernel settings differ, it's not possible to use existing M1 OS images directly. However, a straightforward porting process facilitates quick adaptation.

Embedded Storage Solution:
Breaking away from the traditional ODROID board series, the ODROID-M1S features on-board eMMC storage with a soldered chip directly onto the PCB. This departure from removable eMMC modules ensures a default 64GB capacity, deemed adequate for the majority of embedded system applications. Notably, the eMMC speed, as measured by the fio command, reaches approximately 180MiB/s, showcasing a 3~5 times improvement compared to typical microSD cards.
Expanded Storage Options:
Should the 64GB on-board eMMC storage prove insufficient, the ODROID-M1S offers a versatile solution with its on-board M.2 NVMe slot. Supporting the industry-standard 2280 form factor NVMe SSDs, this slot facilitates access to extensive data storage capacities. While the M1S adopts a PCIe 2.1 x 1 lane configuration, as opposed to the original M1 model's PCIe 3.0 x 2 lanes, the NVMe transfer speed is still robust, albeit reduced by approximately 1/4. With an anticipated storage access speed of ~400 MiB/s, we are confident that this meets the demands of various high-end embedded systems. It's important to note that the M.2 slot exclusively supports PCIe interface (M-Key) devices, and M.2 SATA storage devices are not compatible.
