more revisions to the interface, these are last-minute just before finalising:<br>
<br>
* the revision 2.2 A20 cpu card<br>
* the revision 0.1 ICubeCorp IC1T cpu card<br>
* the revision 0.1 Ingenic JZ4775 cpu card<br>
* the revision 0.1 Micro-Desktop base board<br>
* the revision 3.0 Tablet / Mini-Laptop base board<br>
* also i have received the documents for the quad-core Allwinner A33<br>
so will be starting a CPU card for that with 2GB RAM, shortly.<br>
<br>
i will have enough money coming in beginning of this month to send the<br>
revision 2.2 A20 CPU Card off to the factory for 5 samples.  the<br>
revision 0.1 Micro-Desktop will follow very shortly after that.<br>
<br>
the IC1T icubecorp found me an SD-based TSOP-48 from a company called<br>
FORESEE, which comes in a low-cost 2GB variant.  i will add that in<br>
(replacing the BGA variant which is 4Gb minimum, requires very small<br>
tracks, is more expensive and is making me nervous).<br>
<br>
the jz4775 cpu card i had to do a minor shuffle of the I/O lines as<br>
there was some I/O multiplexing sharing SPI with MMC so there is a bit<br>
more work there.<br>
<br>
heck of a lot going on, it is ironic that about four really good CPU<br>
cards should all come out pretty much at the same time...<br>
