I just got my board & case and I can't wait to get up and running. However, as I am putting the bits together, I have run into a few problems with the documentation, "Vers 0.10 September 19, 2011" <http://soekris.com/media/manuals/net6501_manual.pdf> I have also referenced the wiki here <http://wiki.soekris.info/Net6501_Interfaces> and I am having problems with:
Documentation, page 13, paragraphs 4.16 & 4.17: JP16 is both a fan and the battery connector. Perhaps JP16 is the battery connector and JP13 is the fan connector? Page 13, para 4.18, JP7 is not a 0.05 in. connector, it is a 0.1 in. header. Undocumented: JP1 is a 5 x 2 pin 2 mm header - JTAG? JP6 is an unstuffed 3 pin AMP MTA100 header JP9 is a 4 pin AMP MTA100 header JP10 & JP14 are 5 x 2 pin 2 mm headers - I assume one is the LPC bus? JP11 is an 8 pin 0.1 in header, probably a COM1 internal break out The DC parameters for JP16 as a back up battery connector: what Ah rating 8.4V NiMH battery? My guesstimate at 8W continuous draw, 80% efficient switching PS, requires 2.4 Ah (2400 mAh) per hour of back up operation (to 50% depth of discharge at C/2). Some AA size NiMH are rated for 2300 mAh, but will not likely last that long at a C/2 rate of discharge. C size cells rated at 5 Ah would be better, and 9 Ah D size cells would be best, lasting 4 hours at C/8. PS. I see that Mitja has asked the same questions me.
