Very interested!!!,
How much work is still outstanding on getting this board fully designed and tested?
Are you still waiting on Avalon to make available documentation and reference board? They said beginning May it would be released?
Avalon also promised that the sample chips will be available 4 weeks after order. Zefir (for one) ordered a batch in April, has anyone been able to get their hands on these chips yet?
Board mostly designed, waiting on docs for data protocol info and pin outs. Expect a couple days after docs for first version to factory - hope to verify power before ordering first main board. I'm doing small tweaks each day as I find things to improve. Will throw up a revised 3d render soon.
Firmware started. Have set up and compiled the USB stack and I'm adding cmd protocol code. Temporary hold there while I do this power board.
No samples known to have been shipped.
I have some test stuff ordered and have almost finished a small test power board for seeing how the power supply functions alone (same layout) before using it in the main board. Will order that soon and put in an initial order for prototype parts. That means I can't program and debug a chip for at least another week or so (shipping time).
Thank you to those who have sent me donations.
I sold some of the bitcoins and I'm ordering some more stuff today.
With my partners we bought some of the earlier batches and we didn't get the documentation or the test chips so I assume nobody did. I will let you know as soon as we get anything.
