Regarding concept, #7

If you are planning to use an open concept, wouldn't layerscape or rockchip both be good potentially for a libre design till better options arrive. Anything supported by Vivante GC3000 or similar, right?

I would also add, the pocket mnt reform design I mentioned before, actually sold pretty darn well, 85K before the 2nd day began and it has 200K+ now.

Point being, multiple size options would be wise and good.

This aside, its a shame you don't plan to sell the product directly, but I appreciate you all working on this project.

Thanks for your comments, but general idea is up to the user. Unifying board that we have developed, accommodates CM – computer module format for existing and upcoming FPGA and Raspy boards and possibly and hopefully, RISC V. If you do not need any of those, you can always remove the Unyfing Board and put some other system there. Also as keyboard is not to everyone's liking - that can be taken out and one can put ThinkPad's x220 or x230 series replacement in. We wanted to keep this as cheap as possible, but we must focus when all is done and tested to find someone who is going to actually make it. Thanks for the follow.
