Re: [9fans] PoE Support for Plan9 on RPI 4B/3B+?

I can vouch for the fact that the Pi 1,2 and 3 work fine with a simple 12W 10/100 PoE network/power splitter. They work fine with 9front as it is mostly transparent to the OS as far as I can tell. Chris On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 5:23 PM Skip Tavakkolian wrote: > The PoE hat shouldn't need any sof

The PoE hat shouldn't need any software support. I don't have one, but it's basically a DC-DC converter. The Pi PoE hat has an Attiny processor for temperature sensing/fan operation. You can also use a PoE splitter (48V->5V/2.4A micro USB) which would work for all Pi's. -Skip On Mon, Mar 23, 20

[9fans] PoE Support for Plan9 on RPI 4B/3B+?

2020-03-23 Thread barrywasdell
I have four Raspberry Pi model 4B boards and a Raspberry Pi model 3B+ board and would like to know whether or not Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported by the Pi9 port. Has anyone attempted to power a Plan9 cluster/grid over PoE? What PoE network switches would you recommend? Were there any issue
