EBox 3300??? It's out...

[AAMFlyer]

I just noticed that the Ebox 3300 is out and features more Ram and speed for $150 US + power supply... Will this also work - that seems to be a decent middle of the road price....

I am assuming you would just get the standard configuration...

WDL has it listed for about a week, but no avail. I will test a unit as soon as possible. Until that it is pure guess work if installer images will do... and normally there is always something in there, that needs a decent tweak...

Manufacturer DMP has it announced as avail since two weeks, but no avail at any of their resellers. I guess we will need some more weeks of patience until unit becomes available for true.

Any word on the 3300 yet - anyone seen it yet...this looks like a great option for me....

I have ordered a test unit about 2 weeks ago at "norhtec.com". They are still waiting for supply. I will let you know, when I have got mine. Hopefully, putting Meteohub on them will be a no-brainer... but usually there is at least a minor surprise ;-)

Some months ago I was told that DMP has announced general availability for these units will be mid January. So they are still in the committed time frame.

Sounds good - I'll wait to see when you get yours! WDL in the USA shows them on their site - but not sure if in stock or not...

Boris,

If I order a ebox3300 will you support it even though you have not tested it yet?

Thanks.

Finally, after a lot of emailing there are two ebox-3300 on its way from Norhtec to me. I expect to get them during next week. Before having tested these, I cannot say if Meteohub will work on it. I very much hope that it will, and I will try to adapt Meteohub to these if necessary. But without having the units here, I can say nothing for sure.

Awesome - I'm going to wait on your report! Thanks! It's down to either the Alix1.d or the Ebox 3300 if it works well!

How does this unit look Boris?
Thanks!

The unit looks good in general, but I am still struggling with the r6040 LAN kernel modules, which are a piece of nightmare.

They work, but don't do correct signaling, if there is a LAN cable connected. This is needed to automatically switch back from WLAN to LAN on boot, when LAN connection is there.

The rest seems to work as expected. I hope I can finally conclude on the units in a few days.

Just waiting for you to say it will work before I buy one. Thanks Boris!

What if you didn't have the WLAN option or disabled WLAN as I won't have that option - only a LAN connection?

[admin]

I finally got ebox-3300 working with Meteohub :-)
WLAN is also supported now.

Next x86 installation image can be installed on ebox 3300 as well. So go ahead and buy one, if you like. Prices are at $150 or below for a non RS232, non-WLAN version.

Thanks Boris. Been lurking here following this thread.
Just ordered my 3300 in response to your last post.
