Thank you Zefir for handling this process, as for all the DIY people we wish you a great success with your designs and thanks for all the feedback given, we are working on fixing the reference design files and committing them to the git repository soon.

The base files for building the OpenEmbedded/Yocto-based rpi image will also be committed soon so that everybody willing to develop forks based on it is very welcome to do so (and share back)  Smiley



Is there any possibility for SD-card to be accessible from the front/back, in case change/new yacto-image or improvements are to be deployed, so that rig/desk can remain hashing with old SD-image and new-one is prepared offline, and just cards swapped and rig/desk restarted. I think this will improve overall reliability of the machines and make rigs/desks ready for future improvements and it also saves time, in case SD-card is damaged.

Stuff like this might be very handy, and will not violate warranty in case of SD-card malfunction. Blockchain file will grow more and more in the future, so one day, user might need to insert biger SD-card, and if it's unaccessable from the outside, it might make problems.

This might be a solution. at least as an idea, for possible hardware forks.
