G
iven the introduction to the ODROID-C2 development board
and the fact that you obtained it and the needed peripherals,
you must be curious to get started with your ODROID-C2 now.
To be able to use the computer on the Internet, we rst need an idea
of how the ODROID-C2 will t into a home computing network.

Home Computing Network
A typical simplistic home computing network environment in-
cludes the following, as shown in the diagam on the following page:
• A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem, typically provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP), which connects your net-

WAN port connects to the DSL modem,
• An Intel/AMD based laptop (running MS Windows 7+ or Ubun-

to the router, and
• At least one C2, that connects (wired ethernet or WiFi) to the
router, which uses a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
monitor (possibly touch-capable, such as an ODROID-VU).
After preparing the boot media, it is theoretically possible to use
a C2 in a network disconnected from the Internet. However, many
use cases require an always-ON functioning secure connection to the
