This thing looks really interesting even beyond the advertised use case. Just checked specs and pricing for my own needs: – PoE option is fully IEEE 802.3af compliant and adds $7 – WiFi/BT option WAB adds $22 and is based on SDIO connected TI’s WL1837MOD capable of dual-band and dual-antenna 802.11a/b/g/n (so way better than crappy Wi-Fi on ‘normal’ SBC which is 2.4GHz and single antenna only) – dual-role (can act as both AP and client at the same time — If I understood correctly) – i.MX7 contains dual GbE MACs so hopefully the i.MX6 Ethernet design flaw (maxing out… Read more »
