doesn’t include Google’s services by default, but you can install them via an<br />
Android app supplied by Hardkernel. The CI20 doesn’t include support for<br />
Google’s service at all. Therefore, scoring each board out of 4 for Google Play<br />
support: the HummingBoard gets 4, the <strong>ODROID</strong>-C1 gets 3, and the CI20<br />
scores 2.<br />
<strong>ODROID</strong>-C1 running Android<br />
Hummingboard running Android<br />
MIPS CI20 running Android<br />
Since the Raspberry Pi doesn’t support Android, it will score 0 for this section.<br />
The totals for this section are:<br />
<strong>ODROID</strong>-C1 11<br />
HummingBoard i2eX 10<br />
CI20 Creator 6<br />
Raspberry Pi 0<br />
Linux<br />
All four boards support Linux, and they all support it well. To try and judge<br />
which board supports Linux the best, I used the following criteria: the number of<br />
distributions supported, performance, and the amount of free memory available<br />
after a fresh boot into the desktop.<br />
The board which supports the most Linux distros is the Raspberry Pi 2.<br />
Largely due to the sheer size of its user community, the Raspberry Pi is a popular<br />
platform and therefore receives the most attention in terms of porting. The<br />
scores for distro support is therefore: Raspberry Pi – 4, <strong>ODROID</strong>-C1 and HummingBoard<br />
– tied on 3, and CI20 – 1.<br />
As for performance, the OpenSSL command line tool has a speed option<br />
which tests the performance of its various cryptographic algorithms. It also<br />
provides a good way to judge the relative performance of one CPU compared to<br />
another, as shown in Figure 7.<br />
