SG-1100 Mini PCIe slot - purpose?
-
@stephenw10 said in SG-1100 Mini PCIe slot - purpose?:
The slot itself is wired for PCIe only so cannot be used for mSATA or LTE (which connect via USB).
Did you order a custom design or can the "Wire jumper" still switch USB to the mini PCIe slot?
-
Ooo good point, the jumpers do still exist. Looking back at my notes I had no hardware to test it.
However there is no SIM slot wired to it which most (all?) modem cards would require. I guess you might be able to use one of those adapter cards with SIM slot in it....

Resuming this thread exactly 1 year old: is it possible to point me where is located the wire jumper in the board? I do really need LTE connection as mini PCIe, and I only miss the USB interface on the Mini PCIe.

Hmm, I'd have to look into it again but I don't believe you can as I said a year ago.
However there is now some support for the PCI bus in 2.4.5. Actual card support may vary but you might find wifi cards now work there.Steve

With the WLE200NX for example:
[2.4.5-RELEASE][root@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: pciconf -lv ath0@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3099168c chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros' device = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)' class = network -
Thanks Steve!
This is a very good news!However, the usb interface is not wired to the pci. I see many wire jumpers on the board, are you aware of any circuit board schematic I can looking into?
-
The USB jumpers (J16 and J19) are there so you should be able to switch the connections from the external port to the mPCIe slot. However I cannot find the modem I know I have to test it with right now. I've installed in something but can't for the life of me remember what.
I should point out that while I would expect any issues doing this it would be an untested/unsupported setup. There are no antenna holes so you would need to get creative.

@stephenw10 Thanks so much, I'll try this week and let you know!

Found my modem! It works:

Of course I've just realised there's no SIM slot. So you would need one of those SIM card adapters.
Edit: Memory not good then! https://forum.netgate.com/post/833230

hello,
Im trying to add a 2.4G PCIE (mikrotik) to the 1100 and boot stops at pci0. I have moved the 2 jumpers as above.
