We couldn't wait until the end of the month, so our Mid-September update is live!
We have some huge hardware milestones to share, including a big win for the keyboard layout.

The I.MX95 is booting! After two weeks of intense DDR bring-up testing, our core components are fully functional. We are currently booting at 50% of the max supported DDR speed and are actively tuning and optimizing from here.

You asked, we listened: Arrow keys are back! We didn't have space on the Keyboard extension for 4 new keys, so we re-engineered the Mecha (Super) key into a 5D button. Directional pushes act as arrow keys, and a center push acts as Super.

Moving to fabrication: With the new 5D button designed and tested, the Keyboard and Gamepad pre-production PCBs have officially been submitted for fabrication. Mechanical samples for the Comet arrive Oct 7th, keeping us on track for mid-October sign-offs!

Finally, for everyone waiting on the LTE Add-on... it officially goes live TODAY! Thank you so much for your continued feedback, patience, and support.
Bringing the Comet into the real world wouldn't be possible without you all :)
