Picozed supply / obsolete / end of life

Question

With Picozed seemingly marked as out of stock until at least November 2021, I'm worried it is realistically semi end of life.

Can anyone from Avnet comment of the plan for PicoZed hardware supply moving forward? (For reference I've been using 7030-I variant)

I know as open source it is available for individuals to manufacturer, but in small quantities this makes little sense.

Thanks

Hi Glenn,

The PicoZed is definitely not EOL. Avnet, like everyone else it seems lately, has been struck with supply and procurement issues for many of the components it takes to build these SOMs. Our recommendation is to work with your Avnet salesperson to forecast your needs and get your order(s) in the queue as quickly as you can. That way when we do have inventory your order will be prioritized.

I asked our production team specifically about the AES-Z7PZ-7Z030-SOM-I-G/REV-E . I was told that we have two builds currently scheduled. The first build of 1400 will be used to address backlog. The second build of 1000 does not have backlog against it yet, so I expect that one will put Avnet in an in-stock position sometime mid-summer. These are estimates, given that any number of things could go wrong between now and then, but that's the expectation as of today. Bryan
