So overall we are still on schedule to start shipping the 23rd of July! Hope it runs smoothly 🙂
Also about Retrorangepi I got news from the developper, he told me he should be able to build a retrorangepi RetroStone image soon! In which he made some nice adjustments, such as preinstalling the GPIO buttons.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day,
Pierre
