So i guess we don’t know how many were in the first batch – or how long it’s going to take until the second batch. The first people have gotten their unit, and still there’s no information. I just hope i’m not in the third batch.
So is it gonna be another 8 months until the second batch ships? I ordered october 26th, so the first batch was just a day or so of orders?
I ordered an A06 wifi only in November - they indicated it would go out in subsequent batches - I’m expecting a late summer delivery - this is why I’ve asked folks on the other thread to declare the variant they have received - based on the response I think risc and CM4 - went out first this time… (DevTerm it was A06…)
People who have confirmed their emails for delivery are between 190xx and 192xx. Dont know how far into the 192xx range they got but i can confirm that they didnt hit very low 193xx orders.
They are the same processor module as the DevTerm uses so I’d say they have a source just don’t know the shipping scheme - I emailed them about my order -they indicated that they would not be in the first batch to be mailed but would be in subsequent batches…
I really have no idea just that the A-06 batches will not be shipped with the first batch. I’ve been asking on the shipping thread for folks to declare the type they purchased. The RISC performance is said to be slow - I have an A06 DevTerm and have found it very adequate for everything I do - Open Office, SDR, database, Node Red - I even run Spyder IDE and MS Visual Studio on a second monitor the performance is similar to the I5 processor on my Dell running i86 Raspian (Debian Linux)
Lots of drama on the uConsole shipping page (I’ve remained silent because I have nothing further to add) but folks have forgot about WenShip! Also the A-06 DevTerm issue where the screen blanks after the unit sleeps has been temporarily bandaided by using a Mouse Dither USB dongle…
Yeah i dont understand what all the drama is about.
I think my first thing im going to do with my uConsole is get Fedora working. They have an official CM4 image out there, so i hope it wont be too hard. Im going to dig into the CWPi CM4 kernel patches and see what all they are adding just to see if anything is hardware specific that isnt plug-and-play in the newer kernel used by Fedora.
