The NGW100 is neat
by on Apr.01, 2008, under AVR32, Linux, NGW100
Well I got my NGW100 last night.
If you dont know what it is, its basically a tiny board which runs Linux.
It features two network ports, SD slot, serial pot and a slave USB port and its designed to be a simple yet powerful Network GateWay (NGW).
Unfortunately its already borked. ![]()
I was upgrading the ram chip on it from 32mb to 64mb and a drop of solder hit the Flash chip.
That chip just happens to have 0.5mm leads which is extremely tricky to solder correctly.
Fortunately I got a 0.8mm soldering iron tip today so tomorrow morning I should be able to recover it.
Pictures will come when its working.
