XO 1.75 C2
XO-1.75 Laptop C test model 2, also known as C2.
Description
The C2 version is the XO-1.75 entering production. Electrically, these are almost identical to the C1 prototypes and very similar to the B1 prototypes. XO-1.75 production ramped at the beginning of February, 2012.
Identification
XO-1.75 laptops have seven small raised dots on the hinge cover, arranged in two rows. XO-1 laptops have a smooth hinge cover, and XO-1.5 laptops have three small raised dots inline on each side of the hinge cover. OpenFirmware cpu-model OLPC 1C2
Internally:
- There is a single large chip (the Marvell Armada 610 System on Chip) instead of two large chips (the CPU and a companion chip used in XO-1/1.5).
- The motherboard revision is F
Two version of C2 were built (SKUs 203 and 204), testing out various alternate component suppliers. From a software and functionality point of view, however, these should be identical. They differ in the amount of NAND Flash and SDRAM provided (8GB/1GB vs. 4GB/512MB), as well as the keyboard (traditional or our improved membrane).

If you disassemble the laptop (instructions), you will see:
Software
See XO-1.75 software.
Software Restrictions
See XO-1.75 general software restrictions.
See http://dev.laptop.org/1.75 for tickets that are not closed, in the XO-1.75 firmware or software milestones.
Hardware Restrictions
Increased power draw in suspend
SKU 203 laptops have a motherboard which doesn't have the additional circuitry needed to reach the lowest power when suspended. They will draw approx. 150 mW more than SKU 204 laptops in suspend.
