[MinnowBoard] Export restriction of Minnowboard to some countries

Hi,

In reply to Sam's message, my order was only placed with Mouser (U.K.) a few 
days ago and the Form (which I did complete & return) was sent to me 
electronically on Monday 11th August with my Order Confirmation.
It would appear therefore that this is a fairly new, although possibly 
un-necessary, requirement!

Regards

David

Hi,

As a follow-up to this, when I placed an order with Mouser in the U.K.
(which is also my country of residence) for a MinnowBoard Max a few days ago
they sent me a "Customer End-User Certificate" with my order confirmation,
which they asked me to complete and return to them so that they could
continue processing my order.

When I queried the reason for this I was advised that a similar form has to
be completed by all purchasers of this item, even those who actually reside
in the U.S.A. One of the questions actually asks for the ultimate
destination of the product, as presumably these could easily be exported by
a customer to virtually anywhere.

They did explain that this is a U.S. government requirement, which is
perhaps understandable in the current climate!

Regards,

David

please send you shipping address to danders at circuitco.com

we'll send out a replacement board ASAP.

we've identified the firmware issue and have fixed it, however, there
are still some boards out there that have the older "buggy" firmware

there was an issue with some displays due to timing bit on the HDMI
interface. this too has been fixed in the most recent firmware....

Curious! I ordered from the Mouser UK store (to a UK address, with a UK
credit card) on July 28th and received no such request to complete a
certificate.

Thanks,

Sam

Ferchu/Sam,

we are looking into this as it should not be required to do this...
