Quick Start with ODYSSEY - X86J4105
Before you Start
Ensure you have the following peripherals:
- An external monitor
- A keyboard and a mouse
- An HDMI Cable
A visual diagram shows a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected via HDMI.
Attaching External Storage
If you have the 64GB eMMC version, you can skip this step. Otherwise, you can add storage via four methods:
- Through M.2 PCIE Connector
- Through M.2 SATA connector
- Through SATA Connector
- Through Micro SD Card Slot
A diagram illustrates the locations for M.2 PCIE SSD, M.2 SATA SSD, HDD (SATA), and Micro-SD card connections on the ODYSSEY board.
Note: M.2 SATA, M.2 PCIE, and SATA connectors support OS installation. The Micro SD Card slot is for external storage only.
Connecting Antennas
Insert the two provided antennas into the designated sockets on the ODYSSEY - X86J4105.
A diagram shows two antennas being connected to the board.
Note: One antenna is for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while the second is for enhanced 5G connectivity.
Connecting to a Display
There are two methods to connect your ODYSSEY - X86J4105 to an external display:
Method 1
Connect via the HDMI port using an HDMI cable.
A diagram shows an HDMI cable connecting to the board's HDMI port.
Method 2
Connect via the USB Type-C port using a compatible USB-C cable.
A diagram shows a USB Type-C cable connecting to the board's Type-C port.
Connecting to a Keyboard and a Mouse
Connect your preferred keyboard and mouse to the ODYSSEY - X86J4105 using any of the available USB connectors.
A diagram illustrates keyboard and mouse USB connectors plugging into the board's USB ports.
Powering Up
There are two ways to power up your ODYSSEY - X86J4105:
Method 1
Use the provided 12V/2A power adapter.
A diagram shows the DC power adapter connecting to the board's power jack.
Method 2
Use a USB Type-C Cable that supports DisplayPort (DP) Alternate Mode.
A diagram shows a USB Type-C cable connecting to the board's Type-C port.
After connecting power, press the power button. A blue power LED will illuminate. Wait a few seconds for the system to boot into the operating system, indicated by a 'Welcome to ODYSSEY-X86J4105' message on the connected display.
Installing an Operating System
The ODYSSEY - X86J4105 supports both Windows and Linux operating systems. If you have the non-eMMC version, you can attach external storage and install your desired OS by creating a bootable USB drive. If you have the eMMC version with Windows pre-installed, you can additionally install Linux.
Step 1
Connect your bootable USB drive to one of the USB ports on the ODYSSEY - X86J4105.
A diagram shows a USB drive connecting to a USB port on the board.
Step 2
Press the power button and continuously press the F7 key on the keyboard until the Boot Manager screen appears.
A diagram illustrates pressing the power button and the F7 key.
Step 3
Select your connected USB Drive as the boot drive from the Boot Manager screen and press Enter.
The Boot Manager screen displays options like 'UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell', 'Windows Boot Manager', and 'UEFI OS (USBStick 16GB)'. Instructions are provided for navigation using arrow keys and Enter.
Step 4
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operating system installation.
Adding 4G Cellular Connectivity
Step 1
Insert a standard SIM card into the bottom layer of the SIM slot.
A diagram shows a SIM card being inserted into the SIM slot on the board.
Step 2
Insert a PCIe 4G module into the corresponding slot.

Note: This module is required to use the connected SIM card for cellular connectivity.
Pinout Diagram
The ODYSSEY - X86J4105 features two main header pinouts:
28-Pin Arduino Pinout
This header provides access to UART, Digital, Analog, Serial, I2C, SPI, Power, and Ground pins. It includes pins for SWD, MCU Clock, IO, and Reset.
A detailed diagram shows the pin assignments for the 28-pin header, color-coded by function.
40-Pin GPIO (Raspberry Pi compatible)
This header offers extensive GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins, compatible with Raspberry Pi standards. It includes pins for UART, I2C, SPI, Power, and Ground.
A detailed diagram shows the pin assignments for the 40-pin header, color-coded by function, including specific GPIO numbers and their capabilities (e.g., TX, RX, SDA, SCL).
Additionally, there are solder pads at the back of the board for specific connections.
