i already understood your point, i also would agree to see a header for leds and a connector like i posted above (better smaller than this one) which can be moved to somewhere in a case with simple dupont cables.
Maybe @sinovoip can change this in future revisions/boards. But first hw bugs need to be fixed. please update also the diagram and the specs in first posting of this thread.
we have 4x2g5,1x1G and 2x combo (10G phy/sfp+). verified pcie including the switch (key-m/key-b) last days.
If you can order a full batch, they can give you the boards w/out the LED pins populated, but even normal PC motherboards come with LED to facilitate diagnosis, so I wouldn’t really go that way …
When will be the exact date of release? Will there be a possibility of wall mounting?
if they dont stack the pcb’s, like in the picture of the pro version thread, i highly doubt this will be (easily) possible. The case looks huge. Too huge imho. I hope they got some shielding done and the PCBs can be stacked, which would highly reduce size.
I’m reaching out to express my interest in receiving an EVT sample of the BPI-R4 Pro board for development and testing purposes. Would that be possible?
I’m currently working on embedded Linux systems with a focus on ARM-based router platforms. The BPI-R4 Pro’s powerful hardware, especially its support for Wi-Fi 7, 10G SFP+, and the multi-core MT7988 SoC makes it a compelling platform for performance testing and software contribution.
If samples are currently available, I’d be grateful to be considered. Please let me know if there are any specific steps I should follow, and whether any costs (e.g., shipping) are involved. I am based in Krakow, Poland.
Thanks, Krzysztof
