Greg Bailey and Dean Sanderson are available to meet with you during Thursday and Friday, 12 and 13 January 2012 at the CES show in Las Vegas.  To make contact with us simply send email to marketing at GreenArrayChips (dot com) with a cellphone address at which we may call or text you from the show to make arrangements.  We’ll be happy to meet with you at LVCC or elsewhere if needed.  Hardware is along and demonstrations can be arranged through Friday night.

We are very pleased to announce that SchmartBoard, Inc. is now offering our customers a bundled deal for one GA144 chip along with a SchmartBoard|ez™ to which it may be soldered; see Part Number 202-0048-02. In addition, SchmartBoard is holding a contest in which it will be giving away one of these bundles each week in October and November. For further information on using this method of employing our chips, including a way to assemble a working system for roughly $60 in parts, please see Breadboarding on a Budget which may be reached from our Application Notes page.

A significant new release of arrayForth has been posted on the Customer Support Central webpage, accompanied by a new edition of the User’s Manual. We urge everyone who is working with the GA144 to download and use both of these.

GreenArrays announced today that it has become an OEM Partner of SchmartBoard, Inc. As a result, a SchmartBoard|ez™ prototyping circuit board is now available for the GreenArrays GA144 multicomputer chip. With this board, it is now feasible to hand solder our chips for inexpensive breadboarding. Read about it in Breadboarding on a Budget which may be reached from our Application Notes page.

Although we are now posting frequent updates of GreenArrays software and documentation, these are now being posted to our Customer Support Central webpage and we are no longer announcing every such release here. If you have our chips or evaluation boards, we urge you to check the “what’s new” summary boxes on that webpage regularly to avoid missing important information.

Our team is pleased to announce that the effort begun in October, 2010 has been successfully completed. The GA144 chips work very well, as do our Evaluation Kits, and are available for purchase in quantity. Order evaluation quantities directly from our website 24×7 for prompt shipment from stock. In addition, a new Customer Support Central webpage has been created for up-to-the-minute dissemination of software, documentation, tips, FAQs, application notes, and direct personal assistance to our customers. A new software release and several new manuals await you there.

Shipments of the GA144 Evaluation Kit, P/N EVB001, began today. Orders for both chips and boards will be filled from stock starting next week!

Application Note AP-003: SRAM Control Cluster, Mark 1 has been published as the first in a series of documents relevant to Virtual Machine implementations using GreenArrays chips. These may be found in the Application Notes page.

We are about to begin producing the EVB001 Evaluation Board with two GA144 chips. Preliminary documentation has been updated and will be followed by more information about available software.
