The pre-production boards are still being assembled, they should be completed any week now. We are making good progress on the software and order fulfillment systems we promised, so those should be done just as the boards arrive. Lastly, with the exception of the CYUSB3014 and the Si5338, we now have production quantities of every other component in our possession. This means that once the pre-production units are verified, we will begin the production run. Fortunately for us all, our assembly house tells us that they anticipate the production run will take less time to assemble than the pre-production run.

This past week was rather uneventful. As we continue to wait for the boards to get assembled we’ll update the FPGA, firmware, drivers, and user mode applications. We are also working on finishing up our order fulfillment system so we can start taking your mailing addresses.

This week was pretty exciting, we were dropped off 4 large boxes full of components at the assembly house in San Francisco (scroll down for pictures). The custom RF shields also showed up, and it looks as if they will fit perfectly! At this point, we’re waiting on word from the assembly house for the exact deliver date, however the general is ETA is 2 weeks from now. The mass production quantities of the RF shields, Si5338s, FX3s, and FPGAs have yet to come in but as long as they come in on time (in less than 3 weeks) the mass production run should not be affected. We’ll keep you updated and let you know if anything comes up!
