He asks about fan control pins and wonders why these are missing, but some joystick pins are routed. > notice the dual use of all the GPIO pins on the PC87366 ?? By the way, fan inputs/outputs can be also muxed for GPIO. Harder to route than joystick pins? "Who need joystick with router" is joke, but "who need use of fan controller" maybe not. Don't rant users too. > some of them pretty strange, from somebody who didn't really get what > the product is designed for. Allright, i have three of net5501 boards. All used as wired routers, no more. Without wifi and even without any minipci card. Only PCI slot occupied with Intel EtherExpress Pro card on two units. PSU-s are from Soekris. Operating system (OpenWRT, so it's generally linux) are same on three units. One works without problems over year by now (uptime is 387 days). Two of them show random hangs, watchdog restarts. I can't see nothing strange in this setup, so, for what is use net5501 not to be designed? Please don't accuse people for doing "not to be designed, strange things". Finally, why then GPIO at all routed to pinheader, when you now decide, that using those is strange and for what on net6501 Xilinx FPGA stays? > learned long time ago that in all sales there are about 1% of the > customers you can never make happy. Count me too then. I complained long time ago about one front panel LED, but this is mostly cosmetic error and i can tolerate this. Random hangs and restarts are headache. Using net5501 _without_ upper part of case helps some, but still not completely. I got finally standard answer from support: "Failure to include a detailed description of the problem will result in returning of the unit at your expense if it otherwise passes our standard functional test." How i must describe if board randomly hangs? Works for weeks, then does 3 restarts in a day. "our standard functional test" may pass, may not. -- =<Alvar>= _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
