Hello,
Good to see another update:

I hope Mike is bearing up in the face of his recent difficulties. With regard to your funding proposal [1], I see that you wish to revive the other computer cards,
they were only paused because continuing to put R&D money into them would mean that fulfilling the campaign promises would have been jeapordised.
Although things like the StereoPi have developers as their audience, and so it doesn't really bother people that bare boards and edge connectors are the basis of modularity, it would be nice to be able to pitch EOMA68 (and related profile) products for these kinds of things. But these kinds of campaigns do help to demonstrate the case for EOMA68 and modular computing.
yes very much.
Another thing that I noticed was in perusing the Dingoonity forums, where there is a fairly active forum about Ingenic-based handheld devices:
which reminds me, to contact the guy who was doing the hand-held games console. the last time i spoke to him, i learned that, unfortunately, the person who had designed the case wanted to keep it proprietary.
Again, EOMA68 would be a good way of enabling products for this market. People seem to end up chasing discontinued products and settling for random imports, often being disappointed with some aspect of them or other, plus the software is not exactly responsibly produced, either.
yes, basically, EOMA68 is about reducing the barriers.
thanks paul.
