As I understand your question, it is certainly a ramping up factory thing and not an electronics sourcing tooling thing. Sourcing and tooling was finished a long time ago. That's almost part of the design process, since if parts can't be located, the design must change to use alternate parts.

I'm not too current on electronics manufacturing, but am I correct in assuming this PVT is more of a ramping-up, factory thing? Or is it more of an electronics sourcing/tooling sort of thing? Also, good luck with the process and I hope it won't be too long before the fun part of being a community
