ODROID C1 USER MANUAL
UPS2
There are many situations when an Uninterrupted Power Supply
(UPS) is essential to ensure that the C1 is functioning well, even with
loss of main power. Hardkernel has developed a 3000mAh UPS kit
as shown below. This LiPo battery kit, when used in conjunction with
the C1 charges the battery pack. The second image shows the fully
assembled kit mounted on a C1.

The UPS is designed that during its use, if the main power
source fails, it takes over, presuming it is fully charged. After the
battery has drained to a low level, it signals the C1 through a digital
output pin, triggering a graceful shutdown. Since the cache/file oper-
ations are likely to be flushed out before the power is turned off, the
risk of data loss is low.
USB GPS Module
Hardkernel produces a 5V 0.1A GPS receiver with an USB inter-
face that supports the standard National Marine Electronics Associa-
tion (NMEA) GPS protocol, as shown below.

The device uses a Ublox 6010 chipset, with support already built
