I've seen one post saying the LTE expansion board will be included with the first batch, and now this one saying it will come at a later date. I'd be happy to get the version with just LTE and SSD option coming in the one I ordered if possible. I can always order the one with LoRa and RTL-SDR later. Is that possible?(06-15-2020, 06:22 AM)Lex-2008 Wrote: On https://www.pine64.org/pinetab/ they say:Your LTE/SATA SSD option expansion board assumption is correct :-)
Quote:Multiple expansion boards for LTE, LoRa and SATA SSDSo to answer your first two questions, I believe there will be SSD and phone boards, but dunno when. Also note that somewhere I've read that it won't be possible to use both SSD and modem at the same time. However PineTab has a USB 2.0 port, so via a usb-hub you can attach USB modems, SSD bridges, and other Linux-compatible hardware. Performance will suffer, ofc (since all of it will be working via a single USB 2.0 connection), but oh well.
To answer your last question - I dunno, but I think that likely not before August - when this batch will be shipped.
Prefer more testing to get ready instead of rush out. Most expansion boards should be ready when second batch PineTab ready for pre-order.
LTE expansion board NOT included with Pinetab order. Please noted that you can only installed one of the three expansion board due to space and port limitation.
