All of this was *supposed* to be documented as part of the pre-production runs that cost USD 2500 a shot, so that the longer runs are far less

because a short trial run is supposed to prepare the engineers for the longer one. We cannot keep doing that, it takes 2 to three months each time, so we have to take the risk and go straight to QTY 100.

Patience is required. Success happens by solving each unknown and unknowable issue that comes up. However, it would be appreciated if

would accept that this is not something that cannot be predicted, neither what might happen next nor how long it will take.
Thanks for the update. I have read every update so far, read most of the emails on this list and skim those not so interesting to me. Following questions bother me and I don't recall that they have been already answered: Is it still planned to send pre-production cards to those (including me) who signed up?
Yes, aiyaa I still have some at my mum's house. Keep forgetting.
What is the status of the last pre-production prototype cards? Do they work?
Yes. There are I think 3 available.
When can we test / will we know if Richards HDMI-layout is working?
When someone works out the darn fex file. It is so long in between test runs I have to work out each time what the board bringup process is, over and over again.
Sigh.
