Good morning @sinovoip @simon, I currently have a 35x35x10 fan on both the SFP+ and the RJ-45 ports.

I’m so glad you have the BE19000 design. Let’s see how it works. I know @simon you’re in charge of this project, since I’ve been following you, and when you finish a couple of projects, you’ll probably go back to the BE19000. But if you confirm both, that’s great news.

I’m eagerly awaiting the new case and the BE19000.

Sorry, UART, has it been taken into account to be able to use it externally?

Thanks for listening.

Sorry, what do you mean by this？

Good morning @simon, I mean, has it been considered to put the UART externally so we can communicate with the board?

I currently have it like the photo, but I don’t see how to put it on the box if there’s no output for them. I’ve seen people modifying it, but I don’t know if it’s exactly this way so we can have it externally.

Is it possible for the box to have the connections external?

OK,you mean the debug console UART，

This is 1.25mm pitch, you should use 2.54MM

Good afternoon, that’s correct @simon. I wanted to know if the new case could have a dedicated external UART output, if it would come standard.

Or will we have to install it ourselves, but with an output like the first case,

since the photos don’t show any output on the new case.

Regards

Good afternoon @simon @sinovoip, could you please let us know how production is going for the new box, and for the be19000, if it will be released at the end of this month or by the end of June, or maybe earlier?

The image @simon be19000 will be released with 21.02. There will also be a variant for 24.10 in the first release.

Thanks for your response.

35

When will the new case be available?

36

Good afternoon @simon, @sinovoip, you mentioned on April 29th that you were mass producing.

Please let us know how everything is going and if it will be released roughly on what date.

Thank you.

37

Am i stupid or do i count 14 antennas needed for BE19000 and only 10 antenna ports are available at pro case? And would be nice to get 2 or 4 extra ports for 5g modems :smiley:

38

Good afternoon @simon, @sinovoip, can you please provide us with information on how the new case and the BE19000 are being manufactured?

About when it will go on sale.

Thanks for letting us know.

The design allows for a secondary board; providing space for extra fans could be beneficial for heat dissipation

Wait, this is the BPI R4 PRO?

45

Will the firmware update along with it?

46

Good morning, @sinovoip @simon. Do we have any news about when the new case along with the new BE19000 board will be available? Before the summer, it was said that it was being mass produced. The last update we have is from August by @sinovoip, stating that it was about to be released and was in mass production, just as it was in the summer.

Could you please give us more information about when it will go on sale?

Thank you for your work, and I look forward to your response.
