Pyras can magically multiply, did you know that? Well, I got some pictures for proof... on the boards, as usual.

We now got 18 CPU-PCBs, Mainboards and Display-Boards, which need some testing but are ready to be assembled into prototypes.

We also received 18 of the new keymats (which are working perfect now, with nice tactile feedback!), so the only missing thing is the case.

I'll let you know as soon as I got some more news about that.

So, what's the testing status?

Well, Nikolaus needs to change various components to make the board boot and work. He already is pretty far, he can see the OMAP5 loading the bootloader via the UART-Connector on the mainboard (so the system lives!) which also tells him that the memory is working fine. It does load a kernel but does not boot the OS yet, as the MMC card slot initialization is not yet included in the bootloader, so we get a nice kernel panic because it can't find the OS. Nikolaus is working on them, once the OS itself is running, we can do more testing of all components. It means that the basic system is working now though, which is awesome!
