   hi, i am new here, my name is shay, and i follow you right from the start,
   I'm interested in oak, and want to now what are the predictions to it's release?

   I'm very interested in starting learning the basics of arm, but want the ability to work with FPGAs on the same board.
   I'm a student of electronic engineering, in my final year, and have some experience with designing and building some projects based on FPGAs and AVRs, but never designed a PCB board, or ARM microprocessor.
   waiting for oak,
   Shay, from Israel.

   Hi Shay,

   We have currently a prototype design waiting for manufacture and testing uploaded to the Oak repository:

   https://github.com/leaflabs/oak

   Based on our past experience, the delay between having a prototype design and bringing a final product to market is typically several months. We're very excited about getting Oak finished, however, and will definitely be keeping everybody posted with updates as they happen.

   Let me just say, I am really excited about the current design. Do check it out at the link above to help stave of cravings while you wait for the release. It definitely helps.

   Hi everyone, just some random new guy here.

   I just came across LeafLabs the other day, and I thought Maple looked pretty cool. Then I thought Maple native looked better, since I don't have any real Arduino investment. And then I saw Oak, and I must say, it would be inappropriate to publicly describe my autonomic physiological reaction. Damn, that's an exciting idea!

   Unfortunately I have no hardware design experience but I have used FPGA-based vision systems before. I would hope the design will have significant memory bandwidth for things like buffering processed images and comparing images frame to frame in the FPGA? Honestly it's been a decade since I worked on that stuff so I'm a little rusty even remembering all the tricks, and the system I worked with had a very different overall architecture. Still, when I watch a youtube video of that poor little Nao robot struggling to find a bright pink ball on a well lit, flat white backdrop I want to just cuddle it gently, stroke it's hairless lid and then rip out its still beating GEODE processor and replace it with something like Oak. Is that so wrong?
