Hi Eben.
Sorry, I don't mean to detract from what you're doing. I think it's great. I'm very very excited for the Raspberry Pi, both personally and to see what it does globally.
I'm mostly just curious why the chip isn't publicly available. That's all. I personally hope to be able to use this chip in other designs.

- sneak 15y agoWell, if the RP organization is getting them for their boards, why not resell them to hobbyists for cost or a very small margin to fund further research? "Your business" here refers to Broadcom, when the internet generally thinks you're Raspberry Pi. That's the rub.
