Above is our device with GPS
The ODroid XU4 is a powerful little inexpensive IoT device. It is similar to a Raspberry PI and compatible with many of the libraries. I chose to install ARMBIAN Ubuntu which is a good OS. It is very easy to add GPS libraries, Apache MiniFi, JDK 8 and Python for processing.

Software and Device Setup
We need to setup a Swap area to deal with not enough RAM for builds.
