DevTerm Production Status Update

Maybe one week or a little more after A06. We’ve been asking for a solid date, but the manufacturer hasn’t give us any. I’ll keep an eye on this. Actually, making sure of the solid date is our first priority for now.

Excellent news, @AlexDuan ! and to THINK that if this news were to come few days earlier, you might’ve able to save someone’s sanity and tantrums, lol!

Amazing to hear that everything goes well for you and your team, with 99% issues sorted out. What’s even MORE amazing is that A06 is shipped out first, and I happened to buy A04 for my compute module. Funny that during my pre-order purchase I went with A04 simply because of price + shipping delays (already expected it to ship in batches) but man, to expect both CM3 and A06 to ship close to each other really brings hope to many of us here!

You claimed on us being awesome all this time, then allow me to extend the same to you and your team! Keep it steady, and when possible, more good news around! This news is pure gold for many of us, truly!

You have no idea how grateful we are. And if it means something, I personally feel blessed for having the opportunity to be a member of this lovely community. We are a very small crew as you may know. We had to focus on solving technical issues. But we’ve realised that sharing information is as important as other works, thanks to you guys. I mean it. As a growing team, we’ve made mistakes. You guys have been here reminding us that our goal is to deliver the joy. So, no more weird silence. I personally guarantee this.

Thank you for the update Alex! I’ve received a very expeditious email response from you before, and I appreciated your and Clockwork’s effort given the uncertainty presented by the new wave of the pandemic. I’m more than excited about the initial shipment and reviews that are coming soon.

You haven’t been following what make. Im a wearables guy. Obviously…
I don’t have to wait for a rk3399 when I have a rockpi. Thermal printer? Have one. Display? Lcd and head mount. Input? Chording device… if you have seen everything I’ve acquired then surely you know how it all is easily repurposed.

I obviously don’t care if him or anyone wants to ban me… you may not miss me… but there are others who are surprised. Will I hit up Amazon for a DT in 6 months on Amazon? Maybe, Maybe not. Will I care about a ban then? Not likely. Others might… but none of it is worth fighting over, now is it?

Ban you? I don’t think so.
Thanks to the fuss you made, they finally let off some information.

Hi Alex,

Will there be extra units for sale after the pre-order shipments? I would like to read the first batch of reviews/hand-ons before purchasing. What is your recommendation?

Yeah, no one’s gonna ban anyone about this, it’s just one person disgruntling about his circumstances. Also like @waka mentioned, thanks to your case (maybe?) that @AlexDuan chimed in and gave us more info about the devterm :grinning:

The way I see it, it’s a win-win for everyone!

Hey @straypig this trailer looks fascinating! But unfortunately I don’t speak German! What is this film about??

My suggestion is to wait and see.

They are still working on the OS right now, so there might be some issues to be taken care of. There seems to be not enough time for them to do status updates on a regular basis.

GameShell was shipped with a software graphics driver which is painfully slow to develop games. And the GPU acceleration was not stable.

You are right about the GameShell. But solving GameShell’s problems helped us to gain experience. The OS is ready, we just want it to be better. Have you checked the video? It runs smoothly.
