Title: Secondary Ethernet, WIFI
Post by: gops on October 14, 2019, 06:54:43 PM
Few questions on add-on support on LIME-2 IND versions.

1. What are the best way to add Secondary Ethernet on A20 LIME-2?
2. What are the best way to add WIFI to A20 LIME-2?

I am sure USB to Ethernet stick is one option, I am looking for HAT or UEXT kind of solutions that can be assembled with in the case.

For WIFI, we need external antenna, USB to WIFI with external Antenna may be right options.

I'd recommend sticking with USB to Ethernet adapters.

For UEXT you might consider ESP8266 or ESP32 board.

Could I request A20 with RJ45 housing?
I tried make an interface board. I used RTL8211CL-GR and supporting component.
But, when I make it mass product. there is potential reject on that module (it can't communication)

I am not sure the request. What does it mean "A20 with RJ45 housing"? Can you send me a link to picture or component datasheet?

Generally, everything is possible for bigger runs but we have to first discuss it over support@olimex.com
