Are there any further updates on this situation? I imagine that the production schedule is more or less "when it is ready", as I have always understood it, but I did wonder whether there had been further progress with the prototypes.
arrived yesterday, testing them now, RAM's fine, checking HDMI. dealing with RISC-V and recovering from four weeks of travelling to six different places in four different countries.
fuckers sold the fucking DDR3x8 RAM ICs after we specifically asked them to hold it, they wouldn't accept a deposit, and said that they would hold stock whilst we tested samples.
fucking 3rd party sales agent fucking went and sold the chips: it was the last batch of 2,000 that they had.
ok, so whew, i think what's happened is, they were so embarrassed by the sales agent selling the last batch that they're actually going to custom-order some more. it'll take about a month to get them made, and the nice thing is, they'll make 4,000.
so we have all the RAM ICs to make 1,000 boards.
whew.
