Couple of other interesting things.....

On the UK distributor website, there was only a solo, duallite and dual
proc option. Shame the "full" dual only comes with 1GB of RAM, rather
than 2GB. But on the Solid Run website you can order the Quad CPU option
with 2GB of RAM. There is a 'B2B option'
(http://www.solid-run.com/product/hummingboard-carrier-pro/), where you
can select the Pro carrier board with the Quad SOM module for $146.

Interesting... The pre-configured Pro carrier board, used by the Dual
(not DualLite) option (and Quad B2B option) ..... Forget all the sexy
stuff, mSATA, PCIE, IR, etc. etc..... one thing I picked up on from the
'circuit diagram'
(http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/HummingBoard/rev-3.0/HummingBoard-rev-3_0-schematics.pdf),
the Pro carrier board uses a '4 port USB2 HUB chip'
(http://www.cypress.com/?mpn=CY7C65632-28LTXC), host from the SoM is
wired to that, then 1 port from that to one of the external USB ports,
(the other external port is wired to SoM OTG), and another 2 ports from
the hub chip wired to 8 pin header, so you could connect another pair of
USB 2 ports to that with a PC style header/bracket. Anyway, the
interesting part, for the guys using ASYNC USB1 DAC's and having to use
an external HUB, with the onboard HUB chip you shouldn't need to do
that. But bear in mind you'll need to spring for the pre-configured Dual
(not Dualite) or B2B (with Pro carrier board) to get the hub chip.
