FAQ

  • I want to extend the peripheral capabilites of my A13-SOM-256 board. I stumbled upon A13-SOM-WIFI and it looks great. However, I wonder how does it get attached to my A13-SOM-256 board?
  • You can plug the A13-SOM-WIFI shield over A13-SOM-xxx directly. No cable is required.

    IMPORTANT: the connectors are very fragile - if you attempt to disconnect the setup by pulling the connectors in on go it might break! Furthermore - you might bend the board's pins! Use pliers or other suitable object to disconnect the connectors carefully.
  • I want to get both A13-SOM-512 board and a A13-SOM-WIFI. I am not convinced that a setup of those two boards has the proper support in the official Debian image. Can I assume that the hardware features of A13-SOM-WIFI are proplery supported by the software?
  • Yes. Such a setup of A13-SOM-XXX board and A13-SOM-WIFI is tested and supported in the official images.
  • I see that the board has a built-in PCB antenna. However, I want to extend the range of the module. How can I connect external antenna?
  • A standard connector for an external antenna is not provided by design. You would need to perform complex hardware modifications - cut the PCB antenna and then use the ANT signal line. Refer to the hardware design files.
