Final-package P2 chips arrived

cgracey

Here they are. I didn't know they were going to tack ES onto the part number. I had originally asked them to do that, but they said they couldn't, so we agreed they would go back to the original part marking without the ES. Oh, well. It's better to have these parts marked as engineering samples.

Mmm, crunchy.

Sweet!

Any chance of getting them to make the pin 1 mark less symmetrically placed on the package. Like closer to the side with the pin 1. I've always found it confusing how some manufacturers use two symmetrically placed indentations.

Zero chance of moving a mold marking, but the chip labeling could easily include a pin 1 dot and even a '1' too if needed.

Things of beauty!
Been waiting a long time ...

Looks like it just got real :-)

Its beginning to feel a lot like Chipmas...

I love it . Perfect

Hmmm, so, how do we get one or two on breakout boards?

And Peter's P2D2 board is already in use by a few people - https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/168645/p2d2-an-open-hardware-reference-design-for-the-p2-cpu/p12

I still have a few of Peter's boards available to North American members. They ship free.
Getting a hold of the chips...there is a long line forming.

I sent 6 to Europe a month or so ago to be distributed there. I can check to see how many are left.

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - but what is the pitch on those pins?

0.5mm

The full spec is in the docs.

cgracey

0.5mm pin pitch.

Peter Jakacki

This is the spec from On Semi

Looking good! How soon until we see one soldered to a dev board?

Chipmas can't come fast enough! I know I'd totally be willing to pay a premium for a board signed by Chip. JS

I built one of Vince Briel's Replica 1 Apple 1 clone boards and got it signed by Steve Wozniak at one of the Computer Festivals they used to have on the west coast. A P2 board signed by Chip would be a nice addition to my collection!
