The last status I know about this topic is this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=95482&page=11 > > >> * the last EAGLE schematics I have provided are from september 2015 awaiting >> review feedback > > Who reviews and provides feedback? The Neo900 UG team. My role as a subcontractor is to edit the schematics according to their specs and if they are happy with it, finally turn it into a pcb layout. > I imagine only a very small number of people interested in the neo900 have > the skills to do that. > > >> * I have not yet worked on PCB layout (maybe someone else does - but I don't >> know) > > I thought there were already prototypes: > > http://neo900.org/news/neo900-progress-update-march Yes. That are the last prototypes made in 2014. They carry the 3G/4G modem and some connectors/glue logic. And we have tested the display connectors. Other prototyping that has been finished is to rework a BeagleBoard XM with the 1GB RAM chips and adjust u-boot to recognize it and tell the kernel. > > Maybe what you are saying is that changes to the schematic have been made > since the last prototype was produced, Yes. See µBlog from 2015-09-09 at <http://neo900.org/#main>. But it is still not complete and does not cover 100% of the features. > and these changes need to be applied to the PCB design and a new prototype > needs to be fabricated. Yes, it takes multiple weeks and has not been started, because the schematics are not 100% approved. So I would conclude that unless there is something going on which I don't know (and I don't pretend to know everything), it is very unlikely that anything ships before end of this year.
