Hy ^^  
I have a Clearfog base a388.  
I have bought the cn9130 som to update this one.

Is it just plug and play hardwarely speaking?

Thanks you.

On the old base I put electrical tape over the caps on the back of the baseboard under the SOM as a pre-caution. Other than that it snaps in and functions as normal. You will need a new u-boot, and kernel at a minimum, however I also recommend switching to a 64-bit userspace as well.

Hy,  
i have an answer.  
if the clearfog pro was a 2.1 version, we must do some modifications.
