Hi Hilscher
I have been asked to clarify a few points regarding the board with Hilscher. I have determined that in order to use the NIOT-E-NPIX-EVA with the netPI/netEdge RTE products an EEPROM is required as detailed here:
https://forum.hilscher.com/Thread-SPI-ac...g-extender
I have version 1 netPI hardware with the SD card glued into the product which does not allow us to change the Linux distribution and configure the devices manually. In order to use the existing hardware, we need to follow the details in the above thread.
Given this position I have the following questions?
Mike

Given this position I have the following questions?
- Were Hilscher expecting an EEPROM to be connected to this card? The first reference I found to this is in the recent forum thread dated January 2020.
- Does Hilscher have any design notes/guidance regarding connecting the EEPROM? From what I can see in the thread it appears that the EEPROM should be located “on the HAT/NPIX at I2C0 bus”. Is anything else required other than the EEPROM contents?
