Rambutan Product brief
Rambutan is based on QCA 9557 or 9550 SoC
and comes in two temperature temperature
ranges: commercial (Rambutan-C) and industrial
(Rambutan-I).
IT is a surface mountable, dual-sided, Wi-Fi
enabled Linux module.
Daul-band radio (2.4 or 5 GHz), powerful
720 MHz CPU, 300 Mbps data-rate, 128 MB
RAM and Flash, Gigabit Ethernet port and
a development kit with multiple interfaces
(e.g. PCIe, hardware SPI etc.) are the main
advantages of the Rambutan module.
OpenWRT linux distribution source code is
available on GitHub https://github.com/8devices
and is supported by our growing community on
http://www.8devices.com/community forum.

FCC Warning:
If the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into
which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the
following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: Z9W-RMB”, when the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of
this device must contain below warning statements;
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
