Sorry for the lack of communication!! We have been in a pretty delicate position (nothing related to the board or the chips). Hopefully some day I can tell everyone the whole horrific story...
We are going to be fine and we are going to deliver, but time is our greatest enemy!!
Here is the current Parallella status:
-Epiphany-III chips working great, close to 80% yield. Also running much cooler than before, cool to the touch.
-Gen1 boards booting into Ubuntu
-Gen1 has significantly lower power than gen0. Currently 5.5W when running Ubuntu with the default high PMIC output voltages. We should be able to reduce this to below 5W by tuning the PMIC voltages.
