linux BIOS issue (solution)
- Pros: See other thoughts for solution.
- Cons: See other thoughts for solution.
- Other Thoughts: In response to the reviewer(s) that had trouble booting this board
with linux (attributed to BIOS issues and whatnot). This boot problem is caused by EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) detection by the linux kernel. If you compile a kernel with EDID detection turned off (and maybe just reduce your console support to just basic VGA) the system will boot without delay with a monitor or not.
Can't beat for low power
- Pros: Still amazed at the minuscule power drain - never more than 5 watts. Followed suggestions (memory, power supply, compact flash) from other reviewers and had this up and running without any problem. Using as a "headless server" for a house monitor system. 4 serial ports and 4 usb ports is certainly a plus. Small size, no fan requirement - plug it in and let it go!
- Cons: Slow boot (with Ubuntu server edition) without monitor. Eventually boots, but takes 35 minutes. Keyboard connection in front of board (as others stated) and no power led header. Non-standard memory adds cost.
- Other Thoughts: Contacted Jetway tech. support regarding the "headless server" hang - very quick and helpful response. Used a project box (7x5x3) from RS to house this board - fits inside great after grinding off plastic board slides. Cut a couple of holes and your in business.
Durable, low wattage
- Pros: Pulls 5w max, usually much less. We powered ours for many hours off a 2100mah 14.8v battery. We sent it to an altitude of 110,000' (33.5km), subjecting it to cold, winds, etc, without a reboot. Survived a 60' (20m) fall after hanging in a tree overnight. Very little RF, didn't even have to shield our GPS from it.
- Cons: Buggy BIOS won't boot any Debian distribution while headless. If you want to run any flavor of Debian, you have to have a monitor attached. We had to switch mid-stream to Fedora. If I had bought it to use as an actual PC, I'd have hated the keyboard jack position, which oddly sticks out the front of the board. Also, doesn't like any voltage drops, at all. If you're going to run from a battery, make sure to get one with a higher voltage than you need and regulate it down.
- Other Thoughts: In addition to surviving a "near space launch in a styrofoam cooler" torture test, this board survived our on-the-ground build process which included countless hours of rough handling, hundreds of hard reboots, and hundreds of insert/remove cycles of the hardware we used with it. I still have to solder a new power connector back on (the only damage when it fell from the tree), but it still works just fine with power leads clipped to it right now.
