I think this looks good! I also think the price is reasonable, and the linked page also mentions volume discounts.
Extended temp range, long-term supply, CE & FCC certification, BSP with OTA upgrade support, manufacturing tool, and best of all: "we rely on Neutis ourselves in our line of Reach M+ and Reach RS+ RTK GNSS receivers".
What WiFi+BT chip is used?
Webpage mentions Debian briefly. How good is that support today?
- ivereninov 9y agoThanks! Wireless module is AP6212A, which is based on BCM43430. It has very mature software support. I will ask team about Debian tomorrow, can you get in touch with us directly so that we can keep this conversation going? You can find the contact email on Neutis website.
- berbec 9y agoCrazy question, does monitor mode work on the wifi? That chipset reminds me of my HTC Wildfire S - aka Mr Robot Phone [1] 1: https://bcmon.blogspot.com/?m=1 https://bcmon.blogspot.com/?m=1
- thom_nic 9y agoI don't know firsthand, but "Debian" is primarily responsible for userspace binaries, which just need to be built for aarch64. Just about everything specific to the chip & peripherals is handled in the kernel. (Yes Debian has a linux-image deb but I don't think anyone uses that on ARM. You build your own kernel.) I am oversimplifying a bit, but you should be able to take these instructions [1], combine with a kernel and bootloader built for this board, and write the resulting image to eMMC/flash. You need to configure a few things correctly, boot cmdline & bootloader options but that's it. Source: have used debootstrap to build custom distros for a couple ARM modules as well as x86.
