Q: Can I get PCB layout file and gerber file?
No. The ODROID project is not a full open source hardware.
We release the schematics(PDF) only.
Q: Can I get data sheet for all parts?
[http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G141578608433&tab_idx=2 La liste est disponible sur ce lien.
Other available data sheets are all linked on our website. Others might need NDA process with chip manufactures.
Q: Can you test it to make sure that it is suitable for ?
If you want to use it for something that we haven’t tested, and that it’s not intended for, then that development work is up to you.
But a lot of community members will try to answer for your question (voyez en bas de la page)

- 800x480 (WVGA)
- 640x480 (VGA)
for more detail : http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=supported_resolutions
We will try to support more resolutions.
HDMI-DVI converter may work with many DVI monitors but a few of them will not work due to compatibility issue.
We also recommend our 7-inch HDMI LCD kit(ODROID-VU7) with a capacitive touch screen if you want to develop the modern user interface.
There is no analog VGA/TV output port. But there is a CVBS test point. Refer our schematics.
