1Getting Started with the 96Boards Avenger96
CAUTION!
THIS DOCUMENT IS DESIGNED FOR THE 96Boards Avenger96 FS00009 (PCB number 588-100) ONLY!
The PCB number of the board can be found on the top right corner of the board next to the power jack.
This is a pre-series product, which means that the hardware has some known limitations:
Ethernet port has no unique MAC address. Linux works with random generated MAC address.
Ethernet is currently limited to 100 Mbit/s.
Note: With image version v1.1, ethernet can be used in Gbit mode.
Pull-ups are missing on I2C0 and I2C1 (low speed expansion connector).
