라떼판다 델타 ssd - lattepanda delta ssd

The recommended standard power solution is certainly the PD power adapter which comes with Alpha package, since it is an official LattePanda adapter. However, the Alpha is designed for embedded applications, like robotics and projects, so an external power solution will sometimes be necessary, and can be supplied by: 1. A power supply connected to the 12 volt DC Input - JST PH2.0-4P connector 2. External LiPo battery, which has a 10p connector (more details to come in future updates)

Note

In some countries there may not be any power adapter in the LattePanda Alpha package. In this case you need to buy an adapter separately.

12 Volt DC Input Introduction¶

The voltage range of the Alpha power input connector is 7.4~15 volts. So, if you're choosing to use the LiPo battery, you should attach 2~4 cells. The standard power source required must have 3A running at 12volts. The power required to boot up the LattePanda SBC is approximately 10 watts, and the operation power needed is approximately 5 watts without a very high electrical load.

M.2 Interface¶

There are M.2 connectors on the LattePanda Alpha: one M key and one E key.

M Key¶

The M key interface allows for PCI-E X4 or SATA storage.

Storage¶

• M.2 NVMe SSD
• SATA III SSD

M.2 To PCI-E Adapter¶

A PCI-E adapter can be versatile, allowing you to add hardware typically dedicated for full size motherboards to a single board computer form factor. This includes cards such as desktop graphic cards.\ Note: When using a PCI-E adapter, only 4 lanes are usable.

External GPU¶

There are several videos on Youtube where desktop graphic cards are used on the LattePanda. An example video can be found here.

E Key¶

The E key interface allows PCI-E X2, USB 2.0, I2C, or UART.

NVMe SSD In E Key Slot¶

It is possible to connect an NVMe SSD to the E key slot with this adapter Sintech E Key To NVMe adapter.

Question

It's possible to extend a 2nd network card and graphics card with a converter card. There will undoubtedly be more m.2 products appearing in the market in the future, like movidius ai accelerators. Feel free to share your ideas with us via this github docs repository.

USB 3.0 Interface¶

This is the most common interface. All three ports are USB 3.0, which allows you to transfer data at up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 standard! Due to the large bandwidth, LattePanda can connect to even more accessories, such as RealSense camera and virtual reality headsets.

USB-C Interface¶

There is a USB-C interface on the board, formally known as USB Type-C. It can be used as a 12V power Input or as a USB-C hub to communicate with interfaces like DP, DVI, SD card sockets, and much more.

USB C Hub¶

A USB Type C hub can be used with the LattePanda Alpha. This can expand the number of ports you can use with just one connector. This includes SD/MicroSD, ethernet, USB, HDMI, ethernet, and many other ports.

RS232¶

The RS-232 standard had been commonly used in computer serial ports. Thanks to their simplicity and past ubiquity, it is also used in industrial machines, networking equipment, and scientific instruments where a short-range, point-to-point, low-speed wired data connection is required.

Hi,
I finally received my Delta 432, but I have difficulties adding a m2 M+B sata ssd (kingston a400 240Gb). I tested the ssd with an usb adapter and it works. I tried several times to remove and connect it again, but the drive is never detected in the bios, neither visible under windows OS.
I don't see in the bios where to activate some options if needed.

I have another surprise, a delta board is supposed to have a M2 B and M2 E port and mine has a M2 M and a M2 B (see attached file). The bios has a nvme item. Attachments

Followed the same path, m.2 sata working fine on one computer but not found on Delta. Finally noticed the x2 PCIe notation. Plus it's BT 5.0 now.

Bought a Crucial NVMe 1TB drive for $93 and now I have a drive.

A note about the change on a piece of paper could have save me an hour or two, but overall I am very pleased with the NVMe instead of SATA because I think the SATA will be eclipsed and cost more in the next two year.

Yes you are right, another delta owner in kickstarter comments also mentioned that.
It is a pity for me to have bought this ssd before having the board in hand, but without up to date info from LP...

I hope LP will update the documentation about delta as soon as possible to avoid other users to buy an inappropriate m2 ssd because in the KS compaign it was the exact opposite (m2 B and sata only)...

I think the most authoritative spec is the user guide booklet that came with the unit.
In there it has the info that it's a M-key (no longer the B-key) and that slot only supports 2-lane (or 1-lane) PCIe (but that's all.)
It means that SATA SSD will not be supported in that slot.
The best solution would be getting a NVMe SSD.
BTW, NVMe SSDs are no longer super-expensive unless insist on getting the top-of-line models.

Please ask LattePanda to confirm.

ok thanks, I'll wait the documentation to update or anyone else having a delta and trying a m2 ssd.

I think you are in the right BIOS menu page. (Sorry mine is LP Alpha so I am just approximating...)
It indeed looks like SATA controller is enabled but your M.2 SATA SSD is not recognized.
I don't know what else need to be looked at (I do not have a Delta, I wish I would have one...)
May be someone who received a Delta can look around in BIOS menu (be careful, some settings should never be changed.)

If you can borrow another M.2 SATA SSD, perhaps you can try another SSD to see what's going there.

Thanks for your answer.

In bios and chipset tab, there is no sata configuration item.
I have only:
- North bridge,
- South brigde
- Uncore Configuration
- South cluster configuration

Only in South cluster configuration there is something relating to sata (SATA Drives), but even if Chipset Sata is enabled, no sata drive is detected (2 sata ports are referenced) as you can see on the attached picture. Attachments

Pressor to enter BIOS setup menu.
In Chipset tab, choose "SATA Configuration".
Enter "SATA Controller".
Recheck to see if M.2 SATA SSD is recognized in that SATA submenu.

In your picture, left one is the key-M slot and right one, key-E. Your kingston a400 240GB SATA SSD (key-B+M) should fit the left slot well and be detected as a SATA SSD.
If M.2 SATA is not detected, check BIOS menu setup.
