Hi, there is so much talk about other SoCs.
only one: the RK3288.
But what about the A20? How much work is left
two updates stacked in the queue with crowdsupply, so i will be brief.
and will it actually be shipped in April?
very unlikely.
2.4.0 board used amphenol reverse-mid-mount connector which i learned has been discontinued. sole exclusive supplier: farnell in the UK. DDR3 2GB upgrade confirmed working. 9 samples available.
2.4.1 board used runde micro-hdmi. not ideal. only 2 samples made: both don't work: V-Cut trashed tracks right at the edge producing shorts in one and unreliability in the other.
2.7.1 board is to use the JAE DC3 mid-mount connector which is *much* better. 2.7.1 had to be done anyway (to test the DC3 connector) so 2.4.1 isn't a complete write-off.... @ $1.8k a a shot....
2.7.1 board will be done here in taiwan.
i am *not* going to production until i have a fully working pre-production set of samples. i don't care what the shipping date says: i am *NOT* going to rush ahead and produce 1,000 boards that simply... don't work. i KNOW you will trust that that's ok.
details in updates. including why i haven't been writing updates (every couple of weeks), because it's really hard to concentrate when you're sleeping for about 12 hours a day due to yet *another* round of virus(es).
