In this particular case you and Bernd were of course entirely correct: no board manufacturer has to answer question about unused holes on a board. But this thread was only the last one in a series of "where is connector X?" and "what is JPy for?" threads. I was reacting in that context, I just assumed that would be clear given the number of such threads started recently. I don't think this list has ever seen so much curiosity in a Soekris board as it has the last two weeks;).

It's unreasonable to expect official documentation for it. Sure. But turned into a general discussion about the lack of documentation/manual for the 5501. Including the headers with pins and so forth. I don't think anyone in this thread expect the holes on the board to get documented. Just simply something like "how do I connect the second USB or serial header". Not providing a simple manual for the 5501 and leave that to the customer on a wiki is a lack of respect for the customer. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

It's unreasonable to expect official documentation for it. The thing that started this and a few other threads is there not being a board doc. If you substitute "unpopulated headers" (as I copied from Bernd's text in my hurry) with "various connectors" the story remains exactly the same.

Amongst the questions sent to this list are "which is the internal USB header", "which one is the second COM port" and "how is the GPIO header wired". Those were documented as Soekris FEATURES in the documentation for previous boxes, not as "there are unpopulated headers on the board and if you can find out what they are you can do lots of nice stuff with them".

Well - after all you are asking for a documentation for a connector, which doesn't exist - there are just holes. I don't know about JP1 and JP3, but I would assume that one of them is a JTAG header, which, under normal conditions, is for production only. The boards are a mix of embedded, vs. normal PC boards. In the real embedded market you even can have the requirement for a schematic. I personally consider the board more normal PC boards than embedded ones and if you by a motherboard from a random vendor you never get a description about unpopulated headers as well. I think Søren is playing nice compared to them in that he answered a lot of questions for purposes that his boards are not designed for. There are more questions like this, which may or may not be insteresting. For example I also could ask: If I unsolder the CF header, what kind of chips can I solder on the fields hidden by the CF header? At least on the 45xx there are solder fields for chips under the header. You may say that this includes unsoldering components, but the thread started asking about headers that don't exist. It is true that other vendors are more informative, but it is also true that there are many vendors, which are less informative. I've made some expirience with chinese products and getting an answer about anything beyound pricing is impossible. And the board design made it impossible to ever put the board into a case without doing ugly tricks, but this is another story. > > How hard can it be to type a few lines about pin layout in a text editor? > > Bill asks a very good question. Rather strange that things are this way. Yes - having a manual for this board would be nice, but I don't expect that there is anything new in it. It will not tell about unpopulated headers - the 4501/4801 manual don't do it either. It mighr tell about the requirement for a 12V supply to use the internal header for supplying an SATA disk, but anyway the header isn't populated, so this feature doesn't officially exist anyway. -- B.Walterhttp://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

It's irrelevant if the wiki is accurate or not, documentation should come from the manufacturer. The manuals for the 4501 and 4801 are simple but adequate, and there is no reason why documenting a similar product should take months. I wonder what's going on. I'm not yet buying the 5501 for this reason, and will move away from Soekris if I have to, no matter how much I like their products.

Documenting without giving away > to much is a fairly difficult art. Certainly, there is some truth in that statement. I've been in enough meeting with patent and IP attorneys myself to be intimately familiar with the tension here. BUT: Not documenting the pinout of connectors or what chips are on a board is just silly. If someone REALLY wants to know what JP3 does, and cares enough to spend a few hours and a few hundred $, they can use a voltmeter to track it down to pins on the chips (probably after unsoldering the BGA chips to get to the pads). With a few hundred $ more, they can get the board X-rayed (seen that done often enough when diagnosing defective boards). And anyone who wants to duplicate the board would have ample economic incentive to perform these reverse-engineering tasks, while they make no economic sense to the purchaser of a board. Not documenting the board does not in any fashion prevent or slow down loss of intellectual property. It simply inconveniences the customers, and scares off would-be-customers. Having said that, I'm sure that Soren knows where his priorities are, and that he is working on something that is more important that fixing documentation for older boards. -- Ralph Becker-Szendy[EMAIL PROTECTED](408)395-1435 735 Sunset Ridge Road; Los Gatos, CA 95033 ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
