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
