Hi,
I recently bought i.MX6 Sabre BOARD with quad-core processor (http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=RDIMX6SABREBRD&tid=vanSABRESDB).
The purpose of buying the board is learning at first place, because I'm new in embedded world.
Currently I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.15.8-armv7-x5. My questions are as follows:
1.) Is it possible to implement second ethernet adapter on the board? My intention is to have two different subnets, first for internet access and second for internal purposes.
2.) I need a recommendation for mini PCIe half-size 3G module that I could use on the board? Is there any model which was confirmed as linux supported?
3.) Can I use the same slot for mini PCIe wireless module? Is there any recommendation?
Kind regards,
Nenad

Hi Nenad
1. yes, for example i.MX_6Dual6Quad_Sabre-SD_Linux_Release_Notes.pdf
states that was tested Intel gigabit CT network standard PCIE GEN1 X1 card.
2. I am not aware of tested 3G modules. In general any standard PCIe module will work
for example below
3. You can not attach two different modules to one slot, as for WiFi
i.MX_6Dual6Quad_Sabre-SD_Linux_Release_Notes.pdf
states that was tested
iwl5100/6300 WiFi mini-PCIE GEN1 X1 cards.
Best regards

Hi,
is it possible to connect some other Mini PCIe card instead of 3G card on the Mini PCIe slot on the Sabre SDB? Can I connect Mini PCIe Ethernet card or Mini PCIe Wireless card instead of 3g card?
Best regards,
Nedeljko
Yes, you can
attach different PCIe cards and try.
Best regards
