      Thanks for joining in, vahokie.

      Thanks for looking that up.

      Considering he's a senior hardware engineer at ADI, I'm guessing he didn't have to look it up even. :)

        I like the jumper approach for injecting the usb signaling into the Mini pci-e slot interface. That way the slot could be used for either cdce ethernet type modules for Linux/QMI and USB type modules for DirectIP modes. Bravo.

          I knew i saw M.2 somewhere on the netgate site. I see this is a Q2-2015 future board..

            Good job on 5 knockouts for antennas. You got it all covered there for 4G MIMO, Wifi MIMO and GPS.

              What is the chance of getting a board with 4 Mini-PCI-e slots I think the industry is missing the mark in limiting expandability. I want to be able to run 2 Cellular modems and 2 wifi modules but no smallish X86 platforms exists with such capabilities. The PCI-E lanes are there. Is it that hard to add more capability? I realize you must balance cost with features.  Real estate is obviously demanding in a nano factor but I see the underside underutilized in most boards. I need more expansion slots.. Some could be half-mini sized slots as well for the wifi.. 2 Sim slots for the dual 4G as well.

              Gateworks Uses ARM-No X86. Has lots of slots..

              I m not sure if i am just a demanding user or ahead of the curve, but there is my wishlist.
              Thanks for listening.

                i was under the assumption that the M.2  in the RCC-DFF-2220 would be related to wireless use.

                I see from this that is also used as a M-SATA replacment form factor..

                http://www.computerworld.com/article/2900330/holy-smoke-the-new-macbook-literally-is-twice-as-fast.html?

                Is the M.2 slot for storage or wireless on the DFF-2220?

                    No, but this thread started about the new M.2 slot so that before I plunk down 280 bucks i would know what i am buying. With an ADI honcho on this thread it seemed like a good place to clarify.

                    Are you not curious about a slot -not found on any other embedded boards- that i have ever seen?

                    M.2 format is future-proofing the buy, but i have to wonder what its function is, storage or wireless.
                    right now it is pretty much only found on laptops….Mostly in a cellular modem capacity.

                    1400mb/s didn't excite you one bit?

                      The RCC-DFF will have one mini-PCIe card (PCIe and USB) with a SIM and the M.2 is storage only (SATA, not PCIe).  The industry is quickly moving toward these M.2 SATA cards.

                        It's better than that.  He is the engineer at ADI on this board.
