X4 - with 2x2.5GB LAN

#1

Hello

Is there any possibility that Radxa might offer a version with 2x2.5GB LAN ports.

Another wish list is for a second M.2 for an optional Hailo AI module.

thank you!

It is difficult to achieve this with the size of the X4 board.
These requirements can be achieved through adapters. For example, USB to 2.5G network port, M.2 to 2x PCIE board

Is there any official one? X4 has absolutely the best solution for board m.2 slot - 2230 to easily setup with small nvme, but yet again new set of adapters are needed to split that.

Thank you Ryann!

I understand the size is a limitation
I was thinking more like 3.5 inch SBC size with ports on the 102 mm side.
this will also be more beneficial with a larger heatsink for the CPU
We can use it as a single unit and also as 4 units in 19 inch rack for a local micro-cloud with incus

We have plans for an extension board that can convert m.2 to 4x SSD 2280, but it is still in the early stages.

Thanks for info, I assume that it’s bifurcation adapter and not anything active?
2230 m.2 slot is awesome, way better than most ideas like those on ROCK 4 series when You can’t use anything without additional adapter. X4 m.2 setup is new so matching adapter is needed for sure.
