[MinnowBoard] Schematics for Minnowboard 3 (prelim)?

[Gerard Bucas]

Thanks for the fast response Brian - MUCH appreciated.

I was actually already subscribed to the GitHub MB3 issues.

How will I/we know when such a new "hidden" URL will be available!?
Curious...
Any idea (roughly) when that will be (eg: by end of May?). Preview is good
enough for us to start looking at the details for Apollo Lake (for a new
project we are working on).

Quick new question:
Are there any other Apollo Lake (E3900) based Reference designs (with
Schematics) that have Intel Supported/Created firmware UEFI source code that
one can build/modify (like MB3)?

We have looked at the Oxbow Hill Design (& played with an actual board for a
while) but the firmware/BIOS seems much tougher to build (if even possible)
than the MB (maybe because we have been spoilt by MB firmware and have so
much more experience with it..!).... 

Regards

Gerard

A few answers to one question: 

1) Schematics are not yet publicly available for MinnowBoard 3 (MB3). After
the board gets thru EMI/EMC (& safety) pre-scans I think we could get a set
of schematics and design files posted to Github
https://github.com/MinnowBoard-org/design-files  and just label them as
pre-cert...see the placeholder folder. ADI would then later post production
cert files. 

2) There is no other platform publicly available to test the MB3 firmware.
To reach market shelves, MB3 first needs the E3940 to release. We created a
Github issue for MB3 updates/changes that you could subscribe to:
https://github.com/MinnowBoard-org/bugs-and-help/issues/21 

3) We can get a "hidden" URL up to the website with MB3 overview for the
list audience that can discern between "preview" and "launch". Stay tuned. 

4) In parallel we'll keep supporting Turbot variants, including the
dual-ethernet versions, and the already sold out quad-core (next batch in
process). 

 Feedback/input always desired.

Are there any preliminary schematics available for the new Apollo Lake based
(E3900) MinnowBoard 3?

If yes - how does one get access to it?

If no - is there any hardware platform available on which one could test the
latest MinnowBoard 3 firmware (rel 0.63)?

Thanks
