very cool.

here, i am tempted to suggest riding on EOMA68 (and the much smaller miniature version, EOMA50) and that LibreSOC simply be put into Card form as part of a *range* of eco-conscious products.

the reason for that is that the long-term environmental justification and e-waste savings for EOMA-compliant products is pretty clear cut and well understood, and the cost savings and benefits for endusers are also clear and easy to understand.

LibreSOC *on its own* is just one component (a tiny one) that is below 5 percent of the BOM of any given eco-conscious product, and, in addition, LibreSOC processors can equally be used in eco-oblivious products.

therefore as a minority component it has very little actual reduction in e-waste per-se.... *unless included in eco-conscious products*. and that's where the EOMA strategy comes in.

(note: EOMA50 because it is based on re-use of 3.3mm CompactFlash Cards is much smaller and can fit into smartphones. EOMA68 which is creditcard size is just that little bit too big)
