 there are several barriers to entry for that to happen immediately.
if you have around $25k spare and contacts with any of the SoC
manufacturers that have USB3, and are happy to sign their NDAs, and we
are happy to delay the project by another four to six months getting
through all that, then it can be done.

 so, we do this first CPU Card.  which is ready to go.
