You can use i2c external rtc or connect externally a super-cap/rechargable battery on R768 pins.  R768 is 0 Ohm resistor connected between GND and BKBAT (M14) input from TPS65950.  IGEPv2-RC has available an unpopulated super-cap/rechargable battery footprint (BT741) for real time clock backup batter.  <br>  === How is to connect Bluetooth chipset connect to OMAP&nbsp;? ===
*Control serial link uses OMAP3 UART2
*Audio link use OMAP&nbsp;McBSP3 and TPS65950 audio codec + mixer<br>
<br>
=== How many UARTs are available? ===
UART3 --&gt; on connector JA41 without DVI transceiver with CMOS 1v8 logic.

On new IGEP0020-RC&nbsp;boards: <br> <pre>The JD11 is a "HRS (HIROSE) - U.FL-R-SMT(01) - RECEPTACLE, SMT, U.FL " connector
A popular Hirose U.FL (MHF IPEX) connector === Is the external wifi antenna easy to SMA-RP (reverse polarity) connector cable fits in</pre> install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===
On old IGEP0020-RB boards: <br>
<pre>The JD11 is a GSC connector for the external Wifi interface. It is a MURATA GSC connector, Part number MM9329-2700RA1.
You only have to find a cable that fits with this MURATA connector.
 
Regarding the antenna, just need a 2.4Ghz Antenna. </pre>

=== Is it possible to add analog video output? ===
=== Are the sources for the xloader, uBoot and kernel supplied with IGEPv2 board available? ===
All of them are available at the Official [http://git.isee.biz / GIT repositories]. You need registered user.
<br>
<br>
== IGEPv2 EXPANSION Board Software related questions ==
=== Which x-loader, u-boot and Linux kernel does IGEPv2 EXPANSION board use? ===
You can download software from the Official [http://git.isee.biz / GIT repositories] and then you can follow the IGEPv2 IGEP0020 steps in [[http://labs.igep.es/index.php/The_Linux_kernel]| Howto the Linux kernel].<br>
== IGEP COM MODULE Hardware related questions ==<br>
=== Which differences are between IGEP COM MODULE board and IGEPv2 =Hardware related questions ==
[[IGEPv2]] === Which revision is a start my IGEP MODULE board for testing purposes that you can use for testing the possibilites of the IGEP Technology and for developing your own applications.<br> ? ===
You can also test this technology with the [[IGEPv2 EXPANSION]], which you can instantly attach to the IGEPv2 and test even more features and interficies.*IGEP MODULE RevD: They were sold on 2010-4Q (silkscreen: "'''IGEPv3 MODULE RD'''") *IGEP MODULE RevE: They were sold on 2011 (silkscreen: "'''IGEPv3 MODULE RE'''")<br>
<br>  === Which differences are between IGEP MODULE board and IGEPv2 Board === [[:Category:IGEP0020|IGEPv2 Board]] is a start board for testing purposes that you can use for testing the possibilites of the IGEP Platform boards and for developing your own applications.<br>  You can also test this technology with the [[:Category:IGEP0022#IGEP0022|IGEPv2 EXPANSION]], which you can instantly attach to the IGEPv2 Board and test even more features and interficies.<br>  Once you have tested and checked all the IGEP Technollgy &nbsp;Platform possibilites you can use the [[:Category:IGEP0030|IGEP COM MODULE]], which consists of on a single mini-board with all the IGEPv2 Board capabilities but with just a few of them implemented. That means you can create your own expansion board with any peripheral you want and attach it to your product, or you can contact with the [http://www.iseeiseebcn.bizcom/ ISEE team] (Integration Software Electronic Engineering) where you can ask for a customized board design with your own specifications.<br>
<br>
Yes, it is possible to power standalone IGEP MODULE boards (without any baseboard plugged).<br> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">'''<span style="font-style: italic;">NOTE</span>: DON'T POWER IGEP MODULE through USB OTG and ANY base board AT SAME TIME'''</span>.<br>

=== What is the maximun power consumption? ===
Default configuration will use the internal shared wifi/BT omni-antenna.<br>
But on IGEP COM MODULE boards you can hardware-hack the board and disconnect the internal antenna to populate U.FL connector for pigtail and external antena:<br>
<pre>The J2 is a "HRS (HIROSE) - U.FL-R-SMT(01) - RECEPTACLE, SMT, U.FL " connector
Check your revision case:<br>
*IGEP COM MODULE &nbsp;revision D &nbsp;boards do not have the internal antenna populated, but there connector for the external antenna is actually installed.<br> *IGEP COM &nbsp;MODULE &nbsp;revision E boards have the internal antenna.<br>
You can get an external antenna at the [httphttps://shopwww.isee.biz /store ISEE online shop].<br>
