While the parts are partitially mass produced already and assembling those will be the next big step, here are some news about the current progress on the Firmware:

The OS is also coming along quite nicely. Automatic PND-Discovery and PXML support is working perfectly, as can be seen in this little video done by skeezix (sorry for the low quality, devs usually don’t have professional video cameras. As soon as cpasjuste’s GUI is included, I’ll make a hires video showing a nearly completed stage of the OS).

The video shows how the icons of the apps appear on the Desktop when you insert an SD Card and how they disappear as soon as you remove them.

The only thing that needs to be done to make the OS ready for a first release is to include cpasjustes GUI and add a First Boot Wizard which helps you to easily setup your Pandora.
And that’s what we’re currently working on.
