Title: C.H.I.P. ???
Post by: oldpenguin on May 13, 2015, 11:40:03 AM

Hello all

Have seen these guys ?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer/description (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer/description)
Who are they ? They say they are working closely with AllWinner. Have they solved the A13 nand driver flash problems ? Have they solved the proprietary boot/boot1 problem ?

Regards

Hard to say how much is hot air but not shipping till September so best wait and see.

See the big s/h prices, kind of offputting...

I agree.
It seems a common comment amongst backers. Lets wait and see.

I wonder why Olimex did not put the flash and PMIC in the A13 SOM. It would be much more useful than it is now.
