8.2 Board revision
Remember to check the schematics and the board design files to compare the differences.
Board revision
Notable changes
C (released)
Initial release of the board
D (not released)
1. Added eMMC option (can be used instead of NAND). By default
everything is set to NAND;
2. Added C224 and C232 (47uF/6.3V/0805) in parallel to the 5V_SATA_PWR
connector;
3. Changed L1, L2, L3 from FB/600R/0805 to 0R/0805 – the power supply
seems more stable with the new values;
4. Capacitors C84, C85 changed from 100nF/0402 to 22uF/0603;
5. Fixed the white print at the bottom of the board, now it properly
says “A20-OlinuXino-LIME2”;
6. Completely re-routed the Ethernet and the EEPROM in order to reduce
noise;
E (not released)
1. Small improvements in routing, libraries and cream layer;
2. The 3-pin SMD jumper EMMC_PWR now gets a white print for the
different positions;
3. Board's revision name was changed to Rev_E.
4. U15 and U17 were changed from SY8008C(AA)C to SY8009AAAC(SOT23-5).
F (not released)
1. PHY changed to RTL8211E-VB-CG1
2. Rx pullups moved before the serial matrix for better routing.
G (released)
1. Added four mount holes 3.3mm like on A20-olinuXino-Micro, connected
to GND, odd milling shape changed to rectangular.
2. R109 change from 47k/0402 to 470k/0402, R107 changed from 470k/0402
to capacitor 220nF/0402, because new PHY consumes too much current at
startup.
