Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Since their Pico 2 Plus and their PGA2350 don't overclock enough to get HDMI I'd be a little wary. Only buy if you are definitely happy to not have DVI/HDMI and are happy to program in Python (just in case their implementation of the wi-fi module isn't standard). Raspberry Pi sets the standard.

I'm *certain* that E9 won't get fixed unless there is a big industrial demand. The demand has to be big enough for the revision to be financially viable and home users are only a tiny percentage of what they need. Don't hold your breath. :)

Now, about your order, how many thousand chips would you like per month for the next 3 years?
