Our August Update is live! We've had an intense month tackling RF design hurdles, assembling our first I.MX95 boards, and finalizing our LTE add-ons.

Hardware: Our very first I.MX95 boards are printed and assembled! It’s a dense 12-layer design packed with nearly 1,200 components. We are currently deep into the bring-up and testing phase.

The Antenna Saga: RF design really is black magic. Enclosure interference forced us back to the drawing board. We cleared space on a new Rev 9 PCB and updated the mechanicals to finally get our cellular performance right. Hard lessons learned!

Add-ons & Extensions: LTE kits will be available starting Sept 22nd* (and we future-proofed them for 5G RedCap!). The Gamepad PCB is fully functional, and based on your feedback, we also managed to squeeze an external USB-C port onto the Keyboard!

It’s been a month of heavy redesigns, but we're incredibly proud of where the hardware is at right now. Huge thanks to everyone for your patience and support. Check out the full blog post for a transparent look at the journey :)

@mechasystems starting Sept 19 and you post that on Sept 22?
Doesn't your blog post say it will be available (later?) today? Can't choose it, still...
Im confused...
