=== 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>

=== 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>
