Got the P2 Edge with the breakout. Two issues I am having trouble with
The edge should have been keyed or marked better as to which is pin 1 on the edge and the breakout socket. Should have not had to guess from a picture as to which was the correct insertion of the part.
How from a *nix box can the flash on the edge be loaded?
Next release of the edge, can an SD adapter be added to the reverse side of the edge card? And what is really different between Rev A and B?

RevB has thicker copper, so will run a little cooler at high speed.
RevB has white LEDs, whereas RevA had green
For orientation, there is a white circle printed on the latest mini-breakout and JonnyMac breadboard, which aligns with the orientation hole at the bottom-right of the Edge module.
Orientation cues are something we are constantly mindful of improving.
For now with the Edge module, a little rhyme to consider.... with the components on the right, the orientation is right !
