When will there be a version with Gigabit Ethernet?
Posted: 17 Mar 2020, 13:20
We are making Machine Vision systems for manufacturing machines. In many cases, the Raspberry Pi version 3 or 4 delivers enough compute power for the vision algorithms, but we are dependent on a high bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet connection for the GigE cameras that we typically use.
The Revolution Pi Connected+ platform seems to be a really nice device with some good design thoughts behind it. Especially its small form factor, DIN compatibility, and communication extension modules are attractive. However, it seems to be equipped with 100 Mbit Ethernet connection just as the standard Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Are there any plans on developing a version with 1000 Mbit Ethernet, which could be used for Machine Vision applications? If so, when do you expect this version to be available?
Edit: After posting my question, I realized that the Rev Pi is based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. As version 4 of that module is not yet available, it does not yet make sense to talk about a version 4 Rev Pi. Anyway, Gigabit Ethernet is our main interest. Could it possibly be added by an extension module?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
