+= Ventana Expansion Modules =
+Expansion modules for adding a choice of Mini-PCIe sockets, Mini-PCI sockets, Ethernet ports and Fiber SFP pages to any Gateworks Ventana Single Board Computer. To see a complete list of expansion modules, see our main product selection guide here: [http://www.gateworks.com/product#ventanaexpansion]
+
+ * This wiki page is to provide more information about the implementation and usage the of the Ventana Expansion Modules
+
+
+== Connector Information ==
+ * '''To use a Ventana Expansion module, the base board must have the expansion connector, which is only placed on specific models.'''
+ * ''' This expansion connector replaces one of the normal Mini-PCIe connectors, and thus one Mini-PCIe site is given up for the expansion module '''
+
+[[Image(GW16083connectionyellow.png)]]
+  * '''(Above) Ventana GW5100 Stacked w/GW16083 Expansion Module '''
+
+[[Image(gw5100expyellow.png)]]
+  * '''(Above) Ventana GW5100 Shown With Expansion Connector - Note standard Mini-PCIe connector is replaced with the expansion connector'''
+
+[[Image(gw5300expyellow.png)]]
+  * '''(Above) Ventana GW5300 Shown With Expansion Connector - Note standard Mini-PCIe connector is replaced with the expansion connector '''
+
+
+== Baseboard Models ==
+Specific Ventana baseboards have a vertical board-to-board connector on their bottom-right miniPCIe socket allowing connection to an expansion mezzanine.
+
+The following Ventana baseboards support expansion mezzanines:
+ * GW51xx:
+  * GW5102 - Special order
+  * GW5103 - Special order, check w/factory for availability
+
+ * GW52xx:
+  * GW5202 - Special order
+  * GW5203 - Special order, check w/factory for availability
+
+ * GW53xx:
+  * GW5302 - Special order
+  * GW5303 - Special order, check w/factory for availability
+  * GW5312 - Special order
+  * GW5313 - Special order
+
+ * GW54xx:
+  * GW5402 - Special order
+  * GW5403 - Special order, check w/factory for availability
+  * GW5404 - '''Standard Stocking Model'''
+  * GW5412 - Special order
+  * GW5413 - Special order
+
+
+== Stacking Information ==
+The GW16081 can be stacked multiple times upon itself if using a special variation of the GW16081 which is the GW16081-SP282. 
+
+The GW16082 and GW16083 cannot be stacked on top of itself but can be stacked on top of a GW16081-SP282 which has an expansion port.
+
+
+[=#gw16081]
+== GW16081 miniPCI-express expansion mezzanine ==
+The GW16081 miniPCI-express expansion mezzanine adds the following capabilities to a Ventana baseboard that has a mezzanine connector:
+ * 140x100x13mm (5.5x3.9) form factor
+ * Generic Ventana Mounting Hole Pattern (standoff locations to mount to supported baseboards)
+ * 7x miniPCIe sockets (3 top, 4 bottom)
+ * 32Kb I2C serial EEPROM (24LC32AT)
+ * USB switch providing USB signaling to the bottom 4x miniPCIe sockets (for USB based miniPCIe form-factor cards such as bluetooth HCI's and cellular modems)
+ * GW16081 is powered by baseboard. Amount of power provided is dependent on baseboards power supply. Please consult baseboard user manual/datasheet.
+ *  If desired a separate power supply can also power the GW16081 via a barrel jack input that accepts 8-60VDC. This can provide up 30W to the miniPCIe sockets on the GW16081.
+
+Please refer to the [wiki:ventana/PCIe Ventana PCI/PCIe support] for important information about PCI device resource allocation for the IMX6 processor. Do not assume that 7x additional miniPCIe sockets means that you can add 7x additional PCI devices.
+
+An ordering option exists for a version of the GW16081 which has an expansion riser to support connection to an additional Ventana Expansion Mezzanine. Please contact sales@gateworks.com if you are interested in this option.

+
+=== GW16083 Port mapping ===
+The GW16083 uses an Intel i210 MAC (Linux igb driver) connected to a Marvell MV88E6176 6-port switch. The physical ports on the MV88E6176 are used as such: 
+
+||= Connector =||= Silkscreen =||= Port =||= DSA Common Name =||
+|| J10         || Ethernet4    || 0      || lan4              ||
+|| J9          || Ethernet3    || 1      || lan3              ||
+|| J8          || Ethernet2    || 2      || lan2              ||
+|| J7          || Ethernet1    || 3      || lan1              ||
+|| -           || i210 (cpu)   || 4      || --                ||
+|| J3          || Ethernet5    || 5      || lan5              ||
+|| J2          || Ethernet6    || 6      || lan6              ||
+
+
+=== GW16083 Power support ===
+The GW16083 gets its power from the baseboard through the expansion connector.
+
+A barrel jack also exists on the GW16083.  This barrel jack is only used when the optional POE module is used to output power through the ethernet ports.
+
+
+=== GW16083 Software support ===
+On power-up with no software support the GW16083 behaves as a simple unmanaged network switch for ports 1-4 (RJ45 copper) and the baseboard CPU upstream port.
+
+To use ports 5-6 you need to have software drivers which are available for:
+ * [wiki:OpenWrt Gateworks OpenWrt BSP]
+ * [wiki:Android Gateworks Android BSP]
+ * [wiki:Yocto Gateworks Yocto BSP]
+ * Mainline Linux via patches:
+  * [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/aacf6137bdeded2acb1f6638c14d98ed19ec1461 net: igb: add i210/i211 support for phy read/write]
+  * [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/f2b99363643e1a7880fab8da4c56c88ccaa546e9 net: igb: add phy read/write functions that accept phy addr]

+  * [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/35a41e4125a65a63b1547801571fbfbe80b92bed phy: add driver for GW16083 Ethernet Expansion Mezzanine] '''(main driver - see here for implementation details)'''
+  * [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/02623c86a751bf8c5567d18de440564558212ab7 ARM: imx: ventana: added GW16083 to device-tree]
+  * These patches will eventually be submitted to mainline linux for consideration.
+
+The Linux GW16083 driver software support provides the following:
+ * Enable ports 5-6
+ * register a phy driver off the i210 MDIO bus with a 1 second polling interval
+ * identify SFP module insertion event, detect module capabilities from MSA, ensure module compatibility, and configure switch port
+ * register a DSA driver to present ports as physical network interfaces (lan1-6)
+
+The Gateworks U-Boot bootloader does not support the GW16083 meaning:
+ * ports 1-4 will act as a switch by default (because they power up this way) but the IMX6 eth1 port to the switch will not be active
+ * ports 5-6 will not be active
+ * PCI bus enumeration will see an i210 and show a message about its mac addr from env not matching its SROM mac addr but this has no affect because the NIC isn't supported anyway in U-Boot
+
+The OpenWrt BSP has support for VLAN tagging and port management via OpenWrt's swconfig API however by default DSA support is enabled. See [wiki:OpenWrt/swconfig] for more details.
+
+Port5/Port6 details:
+ * if both RJ45 (with link) as well as an SFP is inserted, the RJ45 (copper) will take precedence and be selected.
+ * Port physical interface mode is available from {{{/sys/kernel/gw16083/lan*_mode}}}:
+{{{
