Drivers for the fan? Otherwise what else for? This powers the SBC.
Yeah seems like the PoE hat just works but the fan doesn’t really turn on unfortunately. I think I have to use rsetup.
Hi all. Regarding powering the Rock5B via PoE:
The Rock5B Plus is marketed as supporting Power over Ethernet. Does it actually support it out of the box, or must the Rock5B+ be extended with a HAT PCB? If so which is compatible with Rock5B+ and where buy?
As for photos, could you share some photo of your Rock5B+ or Rock5B equipped with the RockPi 23W PoE HAT and the Waveshare HAT?
Which Waveshare HAT do you mean in particular, one of those listed at https://www.waveshare.com/poe-hat-f.htm ?
For an alternative route, why don’t you just get a “PoE splitter” to USB PD + 2500M or 1000M ethernet?
There does not appear to be any PoE splitter for 2500M ethernet yet. Procet sell one that

Update: This video shows the Radxa HAT on the Rock5B/Rock5B+. Great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzKJ2_lPxZ8
You can see the PoE HAT is listed as compatible at the end of 5B+ product page: https://radxa.com/products/rock5/5bp

Is there any plan to design a high power board? maybe POE++ (802.3 bt) to power the board when it has full peripherals?

It will be huge and/or loud to cool 90W power supply.
There are more photos of Radxa’s HAT here: https://radxa.com/products/accessories/25w-poe-plus-hat
I also found this thing: https://a.co/d/blXaF6G
might be a good alternative to the POE hat?
