The blog post says one thing. Nobody in the community has posted anything about actually having an Aspen in hand and working on it yet.
> They are and will be available to anyone owning the phone, just like I said in the previous post.
Technically I own one because I plonked down the ~$500 or whatever it was to preorder one. I'm in the later batches, but I have paid for one. It would be nice to get at those schematics, if they exist publicly. Sadly, I haven't been able to find them, and you haven't been forthcoming except to point me to a schematic and board art for the dev board.

Ah, sorry -- I should have been more clear in the first post. I was referring to the schematics for the EmCraft SOM, without which trying to manage thermals and manipulating device trees is going to be problematic.
Frankly, it's a bit disingenuous to call that a full open sourced design -- half the dev unit's board is missing and buried inside that EmCraft symbol.

And they can't without schematics for the EmCraft SOM. I was prepping to actually help out at one point, but stopped because I couldn't find the EmCraft SOM schematic.
> you're moving the goal posts and making me look wrong.
No, you're reading too much into the original post. I said the community hasn't been able to help. Purism isn't the community, and your link points to a commit from a Purism account. I fail to see how I moved the goal posts here.
> See, that's the problem with your posts here. I'd much rather have you get corrected by asking questions at the community channels, which are frequently answered by engineers rather than post under-researched false things on unrelated forums. By posting wrong things, you're undermining the project, which you yourself claim to support.
I have asked in the community and dev board channels, on Matrix, and I have spoken with engineers involved. Some questions were answered, some weren't. Others were answered with handwavy "eventually" statements. I mentioned this in the first post I made about this.

I assume that's because none of the Aspen units went to non-staff members. From their blog post: "We intended on the second revision of Aspen (black case) getting into the hands of backers, but due to the results of quality control tests against RAM clocking at full-speed (consuming power and generating heat), we made the decision to move those backers to Birch and deliver the rest of Aspen to developers and staff."
