This link was apparently posted to HN two days ago when it was published but with the boring title "Neo900 2016 Week 47". I think there is probably someone on HN interested in looking over it, so I posted it to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13002613 with a better title hoping someone who should see it sees it, though the time of day might be bad and even though I tried to use a better title it might still be too vague to attract any attention. I looked over the schematics myself but I don't have any input for the Neo900 guys, being just a second year EE student (also, though I'm interested in electronics and microelectronics I'm still going to go the path of the power subdisipline as has been my plan since before I started).
Why has it taken so long, and additionally cost so much to produce a single board? I feel like a project like this needs to just partner with a Chinese business like Xunlong and specify what they want & with what chipset, like how the OrangePi Plus 2E was built.
Board design is all in house, they're the original designer of quite a few non-Raspi SBCs on the market today, that being said they have just a handful of employees.
