Mr. Teal,

Any chance you have an update on when we can send in our chips for batch 2? I got my chips from Canary today. Thx.

Is there any chance of a link to where you got those PCB racks btw? I could do with quite a few...

Here's a little teaser, hopefully it's a bit of a consolation.



I think I just hashed in my pants... Nothing like a good bit of ASIC pr0n  Tongue

I think every one here realises what an awesome job you two are doing, and people cannot possibly be unaware of the how this project has unfolded timeline-wise compared to, let's just say, "some other notable examples". If they are, then their opinions probably aren't worth worrying about too much.

Personally I am blown away by how well this has gone.  Grin

Thanks Merlin.

Very nice...  320 BFL mounted chips!

So, for clarity, the firmware issue has been resolved and these devices need programming and testing?

any news about the boards?
is ready? Wink Wink Wink
As ChipGeek mentioned a few days ago, we've had a bit of a schedule slip. Along with a few other issues that have cropped up related to assembly but also due to the different behavior of the RevB chips vs the RevA samples that required some firmware changes.
The boards are now coming off the line though and programming and test should be getting underway as we speak, so there is still the possibility of getting some of them out the door today. For the majority though they won't be able to ship until next week.

We apologize for not being able to get them out this week; it was looking good for it when we got everything in on Monday. We'll do everything in our power to ensure that they do get out as soon as possible though.

MrTeal/ChipGeek: How high off the board is the top of the chips? And how thick is the pcb?
According to my calipers, 1.21mm off the top of the board. The PCB is standard 63 mil.

Just for everyone's info: I ordered the Hyper 212 EVO coolers from bitcoinstore.com and they shipped them the same day from Bloomington CA so I received them the very next day. The price was an unbeatable $27.94 each including shipping. Compare to Amazon at $33.24.

I ordered parts from various places for adapting this cooler to the Chili board, and as soon as I can confirm they will fit well, I'll offer to sell adapter kits. It would be something like 4 each of screws, spacers, and standoffs, for about $3 per set plus shipping.

Looks great!  Well done guys!  What kind of pick and place equipment is being used to produce these?

Boards are coming off the SMT line

There won't be many done tonight, Chip Geek will be taking the first few off the line to test them and go over the program and test workflow. The real heavy lifting will be tomorrow.
