Hello all

I received two new A13-olinuxino WiFi boards.
The pcb is identified as Rev.E
Cannot find the schematic for this version. The only one available is for Rev.C
What are the differences ?
Can you put the new schematic on github ?
I noticed there is are some pads near the RTC with "+3.0V_BAT" and "GND" labels.
Can they be used to keep the rtc alive when the board ispowered off ?

Regards

you are right, I updated REV.E on Github
generally after Rev.C there are just cosmetic changes - moving some components on more convenient places and changes on silkscreen but nothing related to the schematic

Humm....
You might consider it a cosmetic change...
But to me this is a very important functional change. You have added blocking diodes and a connector footprint to the rtc vbat. This means that I can connect a 3V lithium battery to the board the keep the time instead of having to use the cumbersome UEXT rtc module !
Thank you !
This change is very useful to me.

...Is there any other change I might have not noticed ?
