Results of some performance tests using iperf are available HERE. The MinnowMax uses a Realtek RTL8111GS-CG PCIe based chipset to provide 10/100/1000 ethernet connection. It has been proposed that this be resolved in a later revision of the board, but it is unknown at which point (if it ever is) rectified. This means we lack the ability to directly manipulate CEC from the A1 and A2 revisions of the hardware. While the MAX (from a hardware perspective) supports HDMI CEC, the signal is, unfortunately, not passed completely from the micro-hdmi connector to the CPU. This is a standard port, for which cables and adapters can be readily picked up from most electronics stores The MinnowMax uses a Type D micro-HDMI connector. This is the power indicator, when lit power is being supplied to the board A0 boards are rare, and are only being documented for completeness.ĭebugging MinnowBoard MAX with Olimex USB-Serial-Cable-FĪvailable on the Low Speed Expansion this Uart is 16550 compatible and appears as /dev/ttyS4Īvailable on the Low Speed Expansion this Uart is 16550 compatible and appears as /dev/ttyS5
NOTE: The serial pinout is flipped between A0 and A1. The pinouts and connections are listed to facilitate locating and connecting a compatible adapter. NOTE: CTS,VCC, and RTS are not used on the debug UART header.
This is a reasonably common cable, also used on the Arduino Pro, Arduino Pro Mini and Arduino Lilypad. Failure to do so will likely result in odd behavior of the MAX as the whole system may be pushed into a brown-out situation.Ħ-Wire Serial Console The serial console port (UART0) uses a 3.3v FTDI serial cable with a 6-pin connector. NOTE: If you try to power both a MinnowBoard MAX AND a hard drive (spinning or SSD) off of the same power supply, please use a minimum of 3A supply, preferably 4A.
The 2.5A recommendation is just a simple calculation of:ĥ00mA (USB2) + 900mA (USB3) + 500mA (core) + 500mA (other peripherals) = 2400mA It is a Center Positive power supply, indicating that the center (tip) of the output plug is positive (+), the outer barrel is negative (-). 25V or 4.75 - 5.25V), Recommended minimum 2.5A power supply. Power Plug The Minnowboard Max uses a 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel 5V power plug (+/.
