Ack! We were excited to see this. While not exactly the same, we're building (& shipping!) an RPi CM4 SATA carrier board as well, in the PiBox ( https://pibox.io/ ). Just finishing up the final details of the metal case and shipping out the first circuit boards this morning! I hope we'll see a huge increase in is-actually-a-real-computer-running-real-software IoT devices once the supply-chain issues start to get reso…

Awesome project, guys! Best of luck with the further development. P.S. Wiretrustee Author

Thank you! I'm sorry to see this project give up, but I completely understand how painful the supply chain is right now

Frustratingly, they have obviously not open sourced all design files. The only similar file formats present in that repo are: PDF, DXF, and SVG. No source files!

We will post the design files soon. We just need to organize them a bit. P.S. I'm a Wiretrustee author

Okay great! Just wanted to make sure. I’ve recently used the CERN-OHL-P license for my hardware designs, you might want to consider that.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the supply chain problems, very frustrating.

I think that Wiretrustee network might be something to support in Kubesail as an app. We could have a look into the integration possibilities.

Give it a shot :)

I tested a prototype of their board and was impressed [1], but can understand why they couldn't get to production.

At this point, I'm hopeful the Radxa Taco [2] will be a worthy replacement. It adds on 2.5 Gbps ethernet and two M.2 slots for an additional NVMe SSD and WiFi 6 (or other uses).

Other PiBox / KubeSail cofounder here. I put in an enormous amout of time into designing around components that can be easily sourced and are stocked regularly. A good example of this is the SL2.1A USB hub we use. The datasheet is in Chinese, but after testing it on several prototypes, we saw great reliability for 1/10th the cost. And its always in stock. Currently Microchip USB hub chips are either out of stock ever…

There are rk3566 based replacements for the rpi cm4. Radxa CM3 and Pine64 SOQuartz.

Very exciting! Happenstance yesterday renewed my interest in DIYing a CM4-based laptop motherboard replacement, and having more open designs to learn from will only help that. I'm looking at qty=1 so expensive components aren't such an impediment...

I wish more designs would go open when they're no longer commercially viable. All it's going to do in the long term is breed better hardware designers, after all.
