The Tabby is finally ready for production. The SBC-A7G54-R0 is a full-featured development single-board computer. An example ideal application would be for a PoE Camera interface with PDM Microphones for directional audio detection and 3-channel PWM motor controls, or a wireless version utilizing its low-power capabilities.

After getting some feedback some manufacturers and further research into some technologies for future projects, we are finally ready. The R0 version of the board features additional test points, temperature sensors, and current measuring devices. These will be removed in a later revision once thorough testing has been done.
Software is in progress with a release of our OpenEmbedded meta-thunderdogs layer, compatible with Yocto Project 5.0 Scarthgap, Linux Microchip 6.6.
