Yes, you could use powerdown and reset pins. :

We change The GPIO_94/GPIO_95 of IGEP0020-RB1 version is changed to GPIO_138/GPIO_139 of IGEP0020-RCx version because GPIO_94/GPIO_95 are camera interface lines.<br>

=== Can I attach an LCD with LDVS interface? === You have to translate or convert it to LVDS which is a differential and serialized interface. For example you can use MAX9213 serializer LVDS to translate the parallel interface to LVDS.  <br>

IGEPv2 doesn't have does not has VGA output. But it could be you can use:<br>  *a DVI to VGA converter connected to the IGEPv2 DVI output. *an [[Which IGEP board do I have#IGEP0022|IGEPv2 expansion board]], which expands IGEPv2 board capabilities.

<br>  === I would like too to know if Is the external wifi antena is antenna easy to install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===

Yes , it is possible. There is no connector for S-video, but signals are available on board test points.

No, it is not possible on IGEPv2 boards .  <br>

IGEP v2 IGEPv2@720MHz has aprox. 15% more power consumption on core and mpu_iva than at 600MHZ.  <br>
