Am I the only one thinking this board won't have any delays?

    The fact that there has already been a Rev A. version of the advanced motherboard. And UDOO has a relatively established track record and experience with boards and kickstarter....

    Makes me very positive that everything should be delivered on-time.

    Software and driver development always takes longer than expected, but the hardware should not be a problem based on UDOO's design and manufacturing experience.

    Software for hardware design is actually harder. Its easy to design the electronics as you just follow the rules and references for the chips you use and you have your board. Looking forward to my ultra board too.

    Yeah, I am expecting November but I actually got my Pagalli wallet in June so miracles happen, not 1 1/2 - 2 months late like EcoQube C and Velocity Grill. I have a Pine64 I can fiddle with in the meantime if the case, battery and screen ever arrive. Android works fine on it but all the other OSes are failures. I hope the Android version being tested is 6.0.1 and not 5.1.1 but it look like tyhe focus is understandably on Windows 10 since that will be your edge over other products along with the upgraded (and more expensive) processors, features and memory. Hardware video encoding could be useful for future applications. Most GPUs only do decoding.

    @toriless, for what concerns the development of Android, we will base our work on the porting of Android for x86 architectures made by Remix OS.
    You can find reference at this address: http://www.android-x86.org/

    I partly posted this because I was interested what UDOO would say. I must say the radiosilence is disconcerting. An update is offcourse not obligatory but it is nice to be kept in the loop. This is partly why I like crowdfunding...one gets the feeling that you are more connected.

    The news is that in a matter of days we should send the survey and open the preorders - obviously we will ship to Kickstarter backers first. For what concerns development there's no major news about UDOO X86. We're still on schedule.

    I have ReMix 2.0 running on my Pine64 but that uses 5.1.1 not 6.0.1 like the x86 RC2. Ethernet is not working on their boards and the ARM base for Android and Remix has still not figured out how to make it work.

    Any chance of android Nougat 7.0 out of the box support when the x86 boards start shipping?

    @toriless: ethernet works fine on UDOO X86 :)
    @guido: the same chance of having Android Nougat 7.0 on your desktop computer :)
    Here's instead the long answer: for the moment Android x86 - that we are not developing - is at version 6, a stable version.
    They've started developing Android 7 in their repo, but there's no stable version so far.
    When there will be a stable version we'll start working on it.

    I have been running Android 7.0 on one of my PIne64 machines for about month now and it is much more stable then 5.1.1 and it works, unlike 5.1.1 you do not need separate build for LCD versus HDMI output and Ethernet and Wi-fi casting works. Of course, you are using different CPU, but once drivers are created you have the essential API for porting the code base.

    The main advantage about version 6 is it can run more apps then 5.1.1 since it has added features some applications utilize and they will not work on version 5.1.1.
