[Arm-netbook] EOMA-68 Micro Engineering Boards QUESTION/OPTIONS.

[Christopher Thomas]

Hello Everyone!

   I just wanted to inform everyone that the Micro-Engineering Boards (I/O
Interface Boards) for the EOMA-68 Cards will be ready to Ship Tomorrow.
Thursday, July 18th, 2013. To everyone who ordered, I wanted to offer you
two options.

Option 1) These boards have not been functionally tested with the EOMA-68
A20 Cards yet, however, they have been tested for Continuity and SHOULD
technically work. So if you would like, I can send your boards tomorrow,
without testing.

Option 2) You can wait to have your board assembled and shipped until we
can confirm they work 100% with the EOMA-68 A20 Cards. I am receiving my
A20 cards tomorrow, and will commence the arduous task of reprogramming
them with Debian. The A20 cards are running a barebones Arduino image
without any SATA/Eth/HDMI interfaces "enabled", they will require work to
get running. I do have the programming environment setup, and it is ready
and waiting for these boards. However, I wanted to be up front and honest,
and inform you that I HAVE NOT worked with the A20 cards before. I have
worked with many MK802, Hackberry A10s, and rPI's, and I do have the
process down for those boards. That said, what I will be attempting
tomorrow once I receive the EOMA068 A20 cards, will be to work out the
script.fex process, and get a basic running environment capable of testing
the MEB. There is a chance (a very good chance), that it could take a
couple days for me to get them running, but there is also a chance that I
can get them running tomorrow and tested.

I do not want to delay anyone who has been patiently, yet anxiously
awaiting their MEBs, but I also want to ensure that I can help as many
people as possible. Even if that means working out the kinks to ensure
you're satisfied with a product I assembled. I want to offer the same
service I offer to any of my clients when I perform a task.

It has been said before, but I will say it again. Working or not, these
boards were bought and paid for with the understanding that they are
ENGINEERING SAMPLES. Which means, they do not come with any warranties,
expressed or implied. The work I have done, and continue to do, is merely a
courtesy I am offering to the Open Source community, and to the Developers
involved in the development and advancement of the EOMA ideology. I also
want to clarify, that I am not endorsed or paid by QiMOD or Rhombus Tech,
my opinions and actions are my own. While I do stand by my work, I can not
offer guarantees that the EOMA-68 Micro Engineering Boards (MEBs) will work
for your application, and it is entirely your responsibility upon receipt
of the MEBs, to ensure their operation.

If anyone has any questions or request. Please let me know ASAP, also, be
sure to respond with an answer to the Options listed above. Once I receive
your answer, those who have not paid for shipping, I will issue you an
invoice for the shipping charges, and to those who have paid, I will ship
your MEBs as requested.

Thank you,
