A good number of new projects were approved. Please check if you were one of them and write a blog :)

Any answers to the questions therein? ;)

These units will ship within the next two weeks. We have had many unexpected and unfortunate delays (see Efika MX blog). Often with such a new chipset (see yesterday's Freescale announcement) this can be expected, but there were many other obstacles. Nevertheless, the net result is that we are going to have a solid product shipping in much greater volume than what we experienced with the first Efika. This time, we will be working in significant multiples of volume and much more opportunity.

R&B :)

Been 2 weeks and no sign of it here... I'm in no real hurry, just thought I should mention it.

Yes, sorry Luke. We were still having some software challenges, but they *will* go out this week.

R&B :)

In the meantime, are there any datasheets, SoC technical details, example driver code, etc that I could start working with/planning for?

OK, the last few Approved Project systems go out today. The rest are on the way. Those going to US destinations will be delivered today.

@Luke-Jr. Please communicate with us directly on what you need.

R&B :)

The next batch of developer systems with the 2.6.31 kernel will be shipped this week. A few more Projects have been approved.

R&B :)

As soon as we have Aura ready in January, we will ship the third batch. If your Project has been approved and you don't have a system yet, you should soon. The only delay we might have is we are out of serial boards, but we are working on that.

R&B :)

Hi there,

Is there any way to get some details about the project approval process?
Our project at Mandriva has been marked "under review" for a few months already:
http://projects.powerdeveloper.org/project/imx515/763

We already have an ongoing ARM port for the Mandriva Linux distribution, and we are really looking forward supporting the i.MX515 platform.

Thanks in advance!
(sorry if I am a bit hijacking the thread)

We're working on it, there is a lot to get ready before we approve batches of project developers since some may have requirements above and beyond shipping a board :)
