yes, a few months ago, mike sent me 2 new prototypes, using "single-panel" PCB from a high-quality manufacturer. i tested them just now (yes, long story, very busy with Libre-SOC) and they work fine. boot off of the usual micro-sd card i've been using.

Great news! Makes me wonder why no one replied... Is the next step the small production run with 100 Units or do you have to do additional tests? What about HDMI?

yehyeh - once Mike responds. he'll need some "confidence-building" and reassurance to go ahead.
or do you have to do additional tests?
it boots which means MicroSD worked, DDR3 worked, power worked, UART worked,
What about HDMI?
honestly i'm not going to worry about it. if it works, it works. if it doesn't there's nothing i can do at this point, until we're beyond the "shipping" phase.
