Further possible delays to the Pi

GreenYamo
GreenYamo over 14 years ago

Don't know if you are generally aware of this, but it looks like there could be further delays to the Pi according to a recent blog post:

Incorrect RJ-45 sockets sourced by the manufacturers....

    So the first batch hasn't left the factory yet.

    I believe it had left the factory, having been QA tested, been received at Raspberry Towers, and it was at final QA testing, whuich also included ethernet connectivity, by the Foundation themselves that the problem was identified, so the whole batch has been returned from whence it came...

     

    A great shame, but better that than sending out Raspberry Pi units that don't work ...

    Eben debunked the claims that 10000 boards ever left China in a recent interview: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2157021/raspberry-pi-pcs-served-april

     

    Only a "very small number" of "sample devices" had left China, he said.  They were

    shipped "to check build quality, components, and so on."

     

    So no need to wonder how 10000 boards could get returned to China so quickly,

    or why the factory might have built 10000 boards before the ethernet jack was tested

    on any of them, or how long it would take someone to desolder 10000 through-hole

    ethernet jacks.
