Monthly Reports

This month, our team has ordered the first prototype board, which is the milestone of this project. We started inspecting the machine and confirming its operation.  This time, we designed and ordered 2 board manufacturers who cooperated with our project, and produced 3 prototypes. Our x86 board has arrived. Currently, the operation of the board is checked by hardware and software. I am in the process of implementing it from both. Since it is a prototype, various problems have been found. However, these problems are expected to be resolved during mass production.  In the future, factors such as performance when running Cardano, power consumption of the board, and cost during mass production We will conduct an evaluation regarding We will continue to work with board manufacturers to carry out projects.

This month, our team will start manufacturing the first prototype board, which is the milestone of this project. For this reason, we made various adjustments with the board manufacturing company and ordered the prototype board. Two of the four companies we contacted last month were interested in our project. rice field. Each company has its own specialty in terms of cost, function, power consumption, board size, etc. Both companies have the development capabilities to manufacture attractive boards for SPO. In order to finally select one of the two companies, we ordered boards from each company and actually decided to evaluate. Order processing for prototype boards has been completed and is currently in the shipping phase and We now have. As soon as the board is in the hands of the team, the performance, power consumption, and mass production cost of running Cardano will be reviewed. Start evaluating with respect to factors such as strikes.

This month, our team will start manufacturing the first prototype board, which is a milestone for this project. For this reason, we have developed new companies that will undertake board manufacturing. Fortunately, four companies have taken an interest in our project, and we are currently developing and manufacturing boards. We are making adjustments for Both companies have a proven track record in board manufacturing, and the final We plan to select one company out of four. However, as a common problem for each company, due to the worldwide shortage of semiconductors, the production of semiconductor chips Procurability is very poor, and it is an important point of discussion whether the board specifications can be fixed at the time of mass production. concrete have different chip model numbers and revisions depending on the production lot, or in the worst case, different manufacturers. The problem is that the case is assumed. This translates directly into development, manufacturing, support costs, etc. We need to consider this matter carefully because it is a serious matter. We also reviewed the board specifications. We are designing a board that adopts the new generation ISA. Although the project has been advanced with a needle, Cardano's design concept, CPU performance, stable supply, platform Given the maturity of the form, the ISA has changed course to adopt the widespread x86-64. rice field. We are currently reviewing the board specifications.

Project Raspberry develops dedicated hardware for stake pool operators that is very small and eco-friendly. By developing hardware with low initial introduction costs and low maintenance costs, there are currently more than 3,000 pools in the world, but even very small pools can be monetized, which will spread in developing countries. We can send in the hardware.

The attached image shows a block diagram of the Linux board currently under development. This board will consist of a CPU module board and an expansion board. This configuration is more flexible than the single-board system used in Raspberry Pi and other products, and can be freely selected according to user needs.

Our project requires a lot of money. Unless at least half of catalyst's funds are in our hands, it is difficult to contract with a company to develop hardware. Furthermore, the global shortage of semiconductors has become a problem, but we are now doing what we can with a small amount of money. At Blockchain EXPO, we will exhibit about our project. The leader, DOW, appealed to a large audience.

As for the current progress, we are now in the process of designing the hardware and selecting a company. Regarding this progress, we exhibited at the Cardano booth at the Blockchain EXPO, which was attended by tens of thousands of people at Tokyo Big Sight. Five hardware specialists from the project also traveled to the venue to provide explanations as the project's exclusive explainers. The leader of the project, the DOW, gave a presentation on the project. A press release will be issued in the future. In addition, we are meeting with companies to discuss the project.The progress of the development had been affected because the CATALYST funds had not been received. This was due to the fact that we had inquired about it via email but did not know that we would report it in this manner. I believe that the funds will now be received and the development will proceed.
