------
Instead of waiting for the factory in China to finish their present
client's work, 3 people have agreed to help initiate the PCB
Schematics. The process will be shortened by making use of the
Evaluation Board Schematics: notes are being taken on its components
here: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/pcb/. A git repository
containing KiCAD PCB libraries, modules and components has been
established, called EOMA. http://git.rhombus-tech.net/eom

Bari from onelabs.com, and Jon Smirl, both have expertise in ORCAD,
which allows for the complex CPU-DDR3 RAM traces to be resolved;
Michelle has expertise in KiCAD and is used to doing CPU-DDR3 traces
to within 0.002in by hand (!). Luke Leighton is acting as the general
dogsbody and sucker for trawling through available resources and
datasheets in order to create pinouts and parts.

The Factory in Shenzen is presently closed for the New Year: we will
re-establish contact with them as soon as possible, and by then will
have something to pass over to them, to help accelerate the
development.
