22 Aug 2014
Earlier this week, the element14 community was introduced to an exciting new Raspberry Pi Accessory, the RPiSoC, which is currently seeking funding through Kickstarter:

I'm pleased to say that Embedit Electronics, in collaboration with Cypress Semiconductor, have allocated 17 prototype units for the challengers involved in the Forget Me Not Challenge.  They are currently winging their way to our warehouse.

In order to obtain one of these highly exclusive boards, only the most compelling use cases will do.  The competitors are invited to submit their proposals as comments in reply to this blog.  Thank you.

    I've spent all day thinking about this and this is my response. Thank you very very much for giving me the chance of getting this SOC add-on board to the Raspberry Pi. It is a very nice board indeed. BUT…

    I agree, I just never found the time to go to it. In-laws are visiting.

    but I'll have to touch-up the soldering first.

    Likewise .. its not unexpected for pre-production and beta devices, so nothing to be concerned about.

     

    It is sad they missed funding by $6k which is very little compared to the benefit.

    I do hope they have another go.

    Hi all -

     

    It's disappointing that they didn't reach their funding goals this time around, but  I have no doubt they will persist.  The feedback that you'll give them will be very valuable for the next attempt.

     

    Best Regards, Christian

    I got mine in the mail a few days ago, and I haven't been able to test it out yet. I'm going to use it, but I'll have to touch-up the soldering first.

    Yup, got the mail as well ...

     

    They did write they would continue working on the RPiSoC. So hopefully they'll relaunch, taking into account all they learned during current campaign.

    And if they do, I'll try to get one of these earlybirds with miniprog image
