15:09 topi` what's the "cheapest" configuration for HB Edge if the customer use case requires 2GB RAM?
15:09 topi` although we're not sure if the cost of hardware is critical to the project here...
15:14 jnettlet topi`, ask the sales email address. You can get any som with up to 2GB of RAM.
15:15 jnettlet I would say the bigger question would be time sensitivity. We produce more high end SOMs with 2GB than iMX6S/DL
15:17 jnettlet also worth noting if there are thermal constraints. While the iMX6 is pretty great with thermals the iMX6S/DL is definitely better than the D/Q
15:18 topi` ok :)
15:18 topi` we'll be using the Metal Case in any case so probably thermals will be oK
15:19 jnettlet should be fine
15:19 topi` what I'm thinking is how to boot it... SD card will be out of question, so maybe get the HB-Edge with eMMC or then boot from a SSD?
15:20 topi` SSD booting requires a particular eFuse setting, right?
15:20 jnettlet topi`, all the new v1.5 SOMs come with eMMC, so plan on that.
15:25 topi` even the HB-Gate?
15:25 topi` oh, the eMMC is on the SOM and not on the carreir?
15:28 jnettlet yeah, the eMMC has moved to the SOM
15:28 jnettlet along with TI Wilink8 wifi
15:29 topi` did the metal enclosure have 2 or 4 usb ports? I only see the "frontal" photo of the metal case
