Nope. BOM cost is well under $25. The price includes a healthy component margin, assembly cost (in the UK), assembly margin, test and OTP programming cost. We are professional electrical engineers; we know how to do this stuff (and in any case, it's not rocket science).
Volume assumption is 10K batches. Anyone think I can't sell 10K of these?
- eddie_catflap 15y agoI'm personally buying three (one for me, one each for the kids). I manage a team of unix sysadmins, you've got quite a few sales lined up there. 10K should go in about.. 5 minutes?
- wtf69 15y agoIf you are so professional, then where is the hardware block diagram? where is the pin description of all your connectors? Lots of people are wasting time on your blogs because you haven't released technical information. The product doesn't have to be finished to release more information.
- digikata 15y agoI wish you the best of luck in the venture. I hope it's very successful.
- bodski 15y agoRegarding the GPU (BCM2763?): Can you share any more details on the user space situation? Will there be Xorg/Mesa/Gallium support? Will you be relying on Broadcom's driver team for updates, if any, or do you guys have driver source under NDA with which you can support the GPU in future? This seems to be the biggest concern for many who are looking at the platform. Just trying to gauge what kind of useful lifespan this board will have with regards to keeping an up to date Linux distro running on it. There's going to be a lot of flux and ABI changes ahead in the Linux graphics stack. Some more GPU details on your Wiki would be great if you have them available.
