How are we looking with the CM board versions being shipped? I ordered in December but I know you had an issue with one of the batches from the manufacturer.

@vileer Does the AIOv2 extension board support the AC1200 USB-C WiFi Card? If not, which port does. I’m running Rex’s Trixie distro with a CM5 16GB memory and wifi. Are the drivers loaded automatically for the AC1200 USB-C WiFi Card?

Thx…

All issues were solved. We’ve shipped more than 800+ orders in the past few week. And we will ship the rest within 1-2 weeks.

AIO V2 supports the AC1200 wifi card. But if you install it in the internal USB-C port, it is not powered on by default. You will have to pull the specific GPIO to high to power it on. I wrote a script to make it easy to do that. Go check out this GitHub repository: https://github.com/hackergadgets/aiov2_ct.

Sounds good, appreciate the update!

Hello guys!

I’m having trouble getting the AC1200 to work properly with the AIO V2 board’s internal USB-C port. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I’m using a CM5 with Rex’s Trixie-6.12.48 system. GPIO pin 23 is pulled up with the script and the power LED is on. However, the Mediatek device appears in the Wi-Fi menu for a second and then disappears. This happens repeatedly and the taskbar also blinks as long as the GPIO23 is on. The wireless device can be found in the USBViewer, but when I run lsusb, the list of USB devices gets stuck for one to two seconds before the ā€œMediatek Inc. Wireless_Deviceā€ eventually shows up. The AC1200 cannot be found in the output of nmcli device show and ifconfig.

I tried connecting the AC1200 card to the external USB-C port on the AIO V2 board and it worked fine. I also tried plugging a USB drive into the internal USB-C port and that worked fine too. I also tried the Lite version of the OS, but the phenomenon was basically the same.

@vileer How should I solve this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you see this about two post up from yours.

Does the internal USB pinheader also connect to USB device?

I’m having the same exact issue. Disabling wlan0 will allow the AC1200 to show up as a network device as wlan1. But I can’t seem to get it working yet.

Does the internal USB pinheader and internal USB C have conflicting functionality? Only one can be used at a time? I planned to use the internal USB pinheaders for a USB camera while still having the AC1200 connected to the internal USB C

No, there is nothing connected to the pinheader.

I’m using vileer’s script. I also tried modifying the config file to pull up the corresponding pin when the system boots up, but nothing worked.

is that ribbon cable pushed in all the way?

I’m not sure what it will look like when the cable is fully plugged in, but I have done my best. Besides, the USB drive shows SuperSpeed (5 Gb/s) when connected to the internal port. So I think the USB 3.0 cable might be fine.

Any photos of this board with 7 antennas installed?

I was super late to the game ordering mine so there was a few hundred posts I did not go back and read through.

Are all the newest board revisions that are shipping 7 antenna boards?

Will the standard coin battery not work with the AIO v2 board?

Is there a specific Lipo battery with a specific connector to use with the battery board w/o the 18650 holder?

No, but some users opt for a 10 Ah battery that fits into the battery compartment of the backplate.
