This certainly looks interesting, but it worries me that they're churning out new boards whilst the documentation for existing boards (e.g. BeaglePlay, Beagle Freedom Connect) is still mostly "TO DO".…

This certainly looks interesting, but it worries me that they're churning out new boards whilst the documentation for existing boards (e.g. BeaglePlay, Beagle Freedom Connect) is still mostly "TO DO". I'm sure they're having fun moving onto the next new shiny toy, but it doesn't make it easy for end users.
