Hi do you have some documentation on the pinouts for the 20pin header for the co-processor?

@alinnz

Sure - see the datasheet here: https://github.com/balena-io/balena-fin/raw/master/documentation/PDF/balenaFin/v1.1/datasheet/datasheet.pdf for the Fin v1.1

Hi thanks for that, can you also tell me what type of M.2 SSD can be used in the PCI express port please

Thanks

Looking at the data sheet the mPCIe is USB connected only. I am not aware of any SSD which are connected over USB.

Thanks again Rich for your quick replies, can you send the part of the data sheet you are talking about please ?

Thanks

Hi @alinnz the datasheet for balenaFIn can be found here, as Rich posted upthread https://github.com/balena-io/balena-fin/blob/master/documentation/DOCUMENTATION.md#datasheet

the mPCIe connector has its own sheet, called 08 - mPCIE

Hi yes thanks for that but where is the 08 - mPCIE sheet?

Thanks

@alinnz from the link above, click on the balenaFin version you want to browse the schematics for, then look for sheet name in the bottom right of the pages - 08 - mPCIE0 is at page10

Thanks again :slight_smile: in the manual it states that we can use the mPCIe port for storage, can you tell me what type I can use please

thanks
