LS1028A progress?

Hi,

this project has been quite difficult for me to make happen, because of the revisions required to the boards by our partner company RBZ and now that the boards are in production, finding the required parts in the market.

The good news is that I was able to validate 16GB, the GPU usecases and put together a 50x batch which is currently being produced at PCBway. The only remaining hard-to-get part was the processors themselves. Luckily we still had 14x in stock and so the batch is split into a 14x and a 36x part. The first 14 assembled units should arrive here in less than a month, I hope.

For the 36 others I have a preorder (paid) of the chips in with a distributor who have just bumped the shipment from Nov. to Dec. I am still trying to find the chips on the secondary market, but there are risks.

If you send us an email with your order number to support@mntre.com we can figure out which batch you are in.

Also, we have designed (it’s almost done) a new chassis for making full use of LS1028A and other modules in a workstation/server context, which is the 1U Rack Reform.

Best
