Khadas launches M2X Extension Board for VIM3.
This picture should clear up the reasons why a larger board to mount SSDs is required. That being said, you can also find a compatible PCI-E riser cable to plug-in SSDs into your VIM3, without using the M2X Extension Board.
Features
- M.2 Slot (M-Key) for 2280 NVMe SSDs
- M.2 Slot (B-Key) for 4G LTE Modules
- Nano-SIM Card Slot
- 100-Mbit Ethernet Port (w/ 802.3at Power-over-Ethernet)
- Power Output: 24W (12V, 2A) via USB-C port
- 10-Pin GPIO Header
- Rigid-Flex FPC Cable for connection to VIM3 / Edge-V
- LEDs
Compatibility
- VIM3 (Full-Featured, PCIe x1 Lane)
- Edge-V (SSD-only, PCIe x4 Lane)
WARNING
VIM3 can simultaneously use both Ethernet ports (1Gbit & 100Mbit), when connected to the M2X Extension Board.
Edge-V can only use the SSD feature, when connected to the M2X Extension Board. The Ethernet port can receive electrical power, but no network data input.
