=== 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 (Revision A): ISEE board based on CORTEX A8 ARM processor (only few premium costumers have these version boards). *IGEPv2 (Revision B): ISEE board based on CORTEX A8 ARM processor (its have silkscreen "IGEP0020-RB1" on board and are from the years 2009 to 2010 years) *IGEPv2 (Revision C): ISEE board based on CORTEX A8 ARM processor (its have silkscreen "IGEP0020-RC" on board and are from the year 2010)

 === Is it possible to power using USB OTG connector? === No, it is not possible. <br>

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