1.1 wiki 2:
1.30 snj 3: [ODROID-C1](https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c1-2/) was a $35 quad-core SBC from Hardkernel. ODROID-C1 support was introduced in NetBSD 7.0. It has been succeeded by the [ODROID-C1+](https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c1/), which is supported by the same NetBSD kernel.
