Interesting! I got mines more than a year ago, and they fully correspond to what is advertised as "Oolite V1.0" on Gainstrong's AliBaba shop: <http://3cmade.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-218161922/Oolite_V1_0.html> and is also the exact same thing as the ELink EL-M150, with pins on 3 sides and 3x Ethernet ports, the dev board featuring 3x USB ports. It looks like they provide another board advertised as "Oolite S1.0" or "Oolite V1.2" <http://3cmade.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-218161923/Oolite_S1_0.html>, with 5x Ethernet ports and almost no GPIO. Now, EasyLink proposes a smaller and cheaper "M-Mini" board with only 1x Ethernet port and a reduced GPIO set <http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-2498744790.2.oDEkQA&id=36485130954>. Yours is yet another version, with only 2x Ethernet ports but almost full GPIOs, it may well be an "Oolite V2.0" but they forgot (or didn't know how) to change the firmware version, so you may not have been spoiled ;) > >> The main drawback of these modules is that they are not individually RF >> calibrated on the production line, resulting on poor/non conform WiFi >> performance.

Please let me know about the result, as I tested on mines and have it tested with another unrelated person from the forum and got the exact same ART partitions. THis may be different for your newer board, but you'd better check! -- Michel _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
