[Arm-netbook] Schedule Updates?

[Paul Boddie]

Hello,

I was reviewing the last update on Crowd Supply for the EOMA68 campaign [1],
and taking information from that and from discussions on this list, it seems
that the following timeline was being followed:

15th June: Crowd Supply update, prototype tested, DRAM tested and ordered,
HDMI not tested

Late July: DRAM manufactured ("about a month to have the 8 Gbit 1600 MHz
DDR3 x8 RAM ICs manufactured"), assembly begins (working from
"three months after getting the cards back from assembly before
shipping begins")

Late October: "delivery of the first units" (presumably "delivery" is the
same as "shipping", meaning "dispatch" from Crowd Supply)

I hope that things have been proceeding as anticipated. August was a quiet
month on this list, and I imagine that Luke has been very busy with all his
projects, but I wonder if there is any news about whether the DRAM
manufacturer came through, whether assembly could start, whether testing might
have begun (and was hopefully a success), and so on. I imagine that there is
also the awkward matter of getting the boards from China to the US, related
bureaucracy, and other complicating factors.

Anyway, I hope everything is going well, that Luke isn't overworked, and that
I didn't miss something that would have made the current state of the schedule
a bit clearer.

Paul

hiya paul, thanks for the prompting: the latest update i wrote just
yesterday, and it doesn't pull any punches. i've had to take contract
work and it's a 100% full-time distraction. the DRAM's fine, new
2.7.5 samples work great (or maybe it's 2.7.6 i can't even remember).
i'm in europe: i have absolutely no equipment here.

i have to arrange to get mike a laptop with a remote-accessible
tunnel, so i can copy OSes to it etc. that's going to take time.

l.

Sorry for the delay in acknowledging your reply to my earlier message! I guess
that Crowd Supply still have your update in the queue, unless the update was
published elsewhere and has nothing to do with them. In any case, I hope you
are managing to juggle your different projects satisfactorily and will be able
to work more closely with Mike again in not too long.

Whilst perusing the Crowd Supply site, I saw this interesting news:

"Mouser acquires Crowd Supply"
https://blog.crowdsupply.com/2018/10/03/crowd-supply-has-been-acquired/

I didn't realise that Mouser already carried Crowd Supply products, but I
guess it increases their reach.

Paul
