<br>if you'd like to get in early on comments (or just talk anyway :), you can do so here:<br> <a href="http://slashdot.org/submission/2247539/rhombus-tech-a10-eoma-68-cpu-card-schematics-completed">http://slashdot.org/submission/2247539/rhombus-tech-a10-eoma-68-cpu-card-schematics-completed</a><br>
<br>there's been only one omission that i've noticed, and that was that the JTAG selection wasn't wired to a jumper selector (however: u-boot is), so for this 1st revision it will be necessary to use the DIL2-44 JTAG pins rather than being able to use those "Universal SD Debugging" cards. sorry!<br>
<br>we have an extraordinarily tight schedule to meet for getting the first I/O Board out (a 14in Laptop. yes. several complete working prototypes, by 10th october). if anybody would like to help accelerate this process by placing an order directly with the ODM house for a laptop to be made up, please do let me know and we can arrange something. i know there's been several people who've expressed interest.<br>
<br>the factory has been given the BOM: we should have pricing, availability and lead times soon enough. more news once it's available.<br><br>/peace<br><br>l.<br><br>
