Correct me if i am wrong, but you said in your latest update that 4 gigabytes of ram may be a possibility in the future yes?

on the RK3288 board only, yes. most ARM SoCs are hard-limited to a maximum of 2GB external DDR addressing: the RK3288 is literally the only one i've found so far that can even do 4GB. reason: it was designed as a medium-level chromebook processor.

to clarify and make absolutely clear: you will NEVER get an A20 SoC with above 2GB of RAM.

The other question though I wondered was it says on some of your delivery dates march or something like that,

I just wondered how long it takes from the time I order for the day it would arrive,

i honestly cannot say. i did the best i could estimate however within even just a couple of weeks of the campaign ending i reached out to an associate to confirm the previous arrangement of staying in taiwan to help him out (and save costs)... and his arrangements had changed.

so really, best thing: keep an eye on the updates, and just go with it :)

also, when exactly is the printed for you, instructions/videos coming out of curiosity?

when i'm making up the 12-or-so for the individuals that pledged for fully-assembled ones. in other words i have 12 opportunities to make the videos :)

however as this is a libre project, i already started some basic instructions if you want to get stuck in early - just bear in mind i need to bring the CAD python source up-to-date relative to the current PCB changes. so you'll be printing stuff out that will *not* fit the current PCBs and components okay? however you will not need to throw all of the parts out, just re-print a few of them.

for the record I didn´t know you had a mailing list for the longest time.

i would say "it's right there on the page" but i actually had to search for it myself (and it's a looong page). yeah this is a long-running project.
