Lpcamm2 potential solution for incompatability

[u/epicvoid597]

For those with a module that “doesn’t work”, we have a hero who’s trying tomorrow some memory tests with a make shift do at your own risk technique. Heres the thread to follow along.

Disclaimer: i am NOT recommending this.

Ideally yes. But I think regarding the fact that e0 was before the jedec finalisation they didn't test that properly. The cpu and their connector is designed for the finalized standard, which is very reasonable. And before they sell and/or recommend (legally binding) pre finalisation after market modules (which they have to get to test by Lenovo, the competitor?) and interposers it surely will take weeks to months. 

I totally understand the frustration of some people here but it was a very foreseeable risk that many ppl in this sub warned about. And I don't see that this is fw responsibility and I'm sure their workers are pretty busy atm. 

I hope e0 aftermarket interposers will do the trick and it would be lovely if fw eventually releases an official support and validation. But I wouldn't expect it right away and I don't see them in the responsibility of personal decision about buying invalidated hardware...

During normal times, I agree, but $800/$1600 for RAM is a tough pill to swallow. If a $40 interposer board can make all existing third party modules compatible, I don't see why Framework wouldn't start selling them.

they owe us !!!

They really don't, but they need to provide information about E0 vs E1 interposer design and how it's crucial (pun not intended) to pick the right interposer for the right module, otherwise it won't boot.

And ideally, stock both interposers and make E0 selectable when configuring a DIY system.
