HackerGadgets' uConsole Upgrade Kit - adding NVME SSD(PCIe), RJ45 Ethernet and USB 3.0 to your Uconsole

As you may read in the "Statement Regarding AIO v2 Internal USB-C Power Supply Issue and Compensation Plan", we don’t have sufficient cash flow to order the expensive components for the AIO v2, such as the R860 and the RTL2832U, for mass production. The minimum order quantity for those components is 1 pack (4900 pcs), which is about $60k for 1 pack of R860, and $38.5k for 1 pack of RTL2832U.

But we still have some leftovers for R860 and RTL2832U(around 200 units). I will manufacture 150 units after the Lunar New Year. And save 50 units for the prototyping for other projects.

Due to the awful pre-order experience, we won’t sell it before we receive the boards from the manufacturer. Although the product was listed as pre-ordered, we still received many emails asking why their orders hadn’t shipped a few days after they placed them. And if the manufacturing process didn’t go as scheduled, people complained.

The product design baseline is that they will be compatible with each other. The left side of the battery board was reserved for the AC1200 Wi-Fi card or the upcoming LTE dongle. So I don’t have any plan for the 3x 18650 battery board because it will lose NVMe support.

But I will try to make a dual 21700 battery board that will suit the product design baseline.
