Hi list/community,
we would like to introduce new router supporting OpenWRT.
It is only in development stage and we are looking for community opinion
regarding its features and possibilities. There still currently a chance
to change something and take into community response.
I would suggest to add bootable CF or SD card connector (or two).
There are two use cases for such cards:
- Installation of Debian Linux (or another 'normal' Linux
distribution compiled for ARM). It is much simpler to install
such distribution on CF or SD card than on internal NAND flash.
- Persistent storage of system logs and other runtime writable
data.
I agree it is good idea. SATA/USB to CF or SD is best solution IMO.
It should be possible to implement CF or SD card slot using
a couple of GPIOs.
It will be very ssslllooowww... and will use a lot of CPU resources.
At least comparing to SATA converter or even USB adapter.
A nice and useful feature is also onboard piezobuzzer like one on
newer Mikrotik Routerboards.
Since our board will have GPIO on standard header it should be no
problem to connect such custom devices.
Thank you very much for your comments.
