What Squidge has shown was running on a dev board. This is a screen attached to an actual PCB. I don't think they can show anything running on it because not all components are installed currently. (they don't have any OMAP 3530s, they're not in production quite yet)TyBO! said:

Chip said:The board shown is much more populated than the last pics. It looks like everything except the wifi module is installed. There is a processor there, though whether it's a 3530 or something else is not obvious.
Mayby it's a 3503 like what's in Squidge's dev board.
Chip said:There's also an SD card in the slot, so maybe it is running to some extent.
I didn't even notice that the first time through. Nice find.
I'm eagerly looking foward to seeing something running on the actual hardwarecraigix said:! Exciting times these are.

It's true that they are not in production yet, but it's false that we don't have any
But, my dev board has a 3530.Shiny said:
That's not QUITE true. We're seeing a populated mainboard hooked to a touchpanel display as well.TyBO! said:

I'd bet that they DO have some in hand on Dev boards and a few for the prototype/developer run units.
"Not in production" means a whole host of things, including having a handful of samples of the production run version of silicon to lever TI's people and the early adopters (like OpenPandora) up to full speed.
WICKED! I can't wait. This is getting fun now.craigix said:
(Now if only I can get a dev board or one of the prototypes in hand...
It will surely be there -- they probably still need to source the best component/price. It takes time, but it looks like it's coming together nicely!JerryG20 said:
Does it support monitor mode for "security testing"?MWeston said:The wifi will be included in the next PCB revision. For this revision, the PCB has a generic footprint that I am using to place another small PCB with the wifi module of choice. I have some wifi modules here, but I don't like them as much as another part I am trying to line up for production. I don't want to say anything about that part as things can change, but what I am looking for is the best part with great power and throughput and, of course, great drivers that will drop into our kernel with minimal problems.
I am finding that using the cheapest priced wifi part is not as important as choosing one with a strong backing on the driver side and that is why I am not rushing to get the parts I have now, soldered to the board. I don't feel confident with the drivers given to me, but the part that will likely be in the final unit is fantastic and very well supported. We are setting up terms with the module manufacturer now and unless something unforeseen should happen, the choice appears to be final. Information on this will be updated when it is in writing, but not before. I just hate having to go back on things I have already posted and want to keep that to a minimum.
Just don't tell us you're using a Broadcom chip and I'll just smile and nod over that one- but as atomicthumbs asked, one wonders if it'll support monitor mode, amongst other things.MWeston said:I am finding that using the cheapest priced wifi part is not as important as choosing one with a strong backing on the driver side and that is why I am not rushing to get the parts I have now, soldered to the board.

Keep soundly in mind that unless you're testing your own systems security, use of things like monitor mode and similar is akin to being caught with a pick set if you're not a licensed locksmith. Unless you're working under the auspices of a PI doing computer forensics, you can be found guilty of a misdemeanor just shy of felony status or a felony depending on what you're doing and what jurisdiction you're under.atomicthumbs said:
