Final version of the M2X Extension Board (v11)!
Hello, When will these become available?
Thanks.
Both VIM3 & M2X are in SMT process now, we will ship out before mid Aug.

What are the plans for the production of a simple and flexible adapter for M2 (only to connect the module NVMe) price 2-3$ ?

Great question, however I have intention to buy the whole board, but will look into flexible adapter too!
The VIM V12 will be formal fabricate version?

That Would be cool 
Yes you’re correct, it will be the final mass produced version.

Yes It would be especially relevant for the edge-v and may not cost more than few dollars as you estimated it.
Terry is adding the Android UI option of switching between PCI-E and USB 3.0 modes as well. Thanks @Terry!

That will be somewhat easier than the KBI method, and no USB-to-TTL.
Looking forward to it.

Will talk with our team for such a solution.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Good day!

Problem = NVMe SSD is larger than the VIM3 board form factor 
Electronics Engineer solution = make an expensive carrier board!
Mechanical Engineer solution = make a cheap case that provides the capitve points needed to hold the board and the “overhanging” NVMe SSD … and also solves the problem that board + SSD needs a new case design anyway (as the current Khadas plastic-kids-toy case is too small).
IMHO the low-tech solution is often better then the high-tech solution.

Well, the two pictures clearly answer the following questions:
- Why increasing costs by adding PoE to the Extension Board?
- Why increasing costs by adding
mPCIeM.2 Key A in ‘USB only’ fashion? - Do you really think people wanting to benefit from rather slow NVMe storage are the same people who need also PoE and WWAN modems all at the same time?
Edit: just realized that it’s not even mPCIe but M.2 Key A to ensure that close to nothing can be inserted into this slot.
Hello @meprateek,
I went with the guys to the SMT factory on Saturday, and production is chugging along smoothly.
We will be meeting the 10th August deadline, and shipping out will commence this coming Monday (not today, next Monday).
@hyphop can post his factory video, when he’s ready.
