  Hello colleagues,

  based on the "V0 design freeze" meeting yesterday, and earlier discussions, the immediate plans to finalize the PCB design and start productions are:

  Mon Nov,13 -> FMC board design sent out (to this mailing list?) for final comments

  Mon Nov,13 -> ASIC board STEP file is distributed 

  Wed Nov,15 -> FMC board production launch

  Fri     Nov,17 -> ASIC board design sent out for final comments

  Tue   Nov,21 -> ASIC board production launch

  Fri     Dec,  1  -> FPGA board design sent out for final comments [hopefully earlier!]

  Tue   Dec,  5  -> FPGA board production is launched [hopefully earlier!]

  "Production launch" means asking for a final manufacturer quote if needed and placing a PO.

Then it takes whatever it takes.

  Late finish of the FPGA board should not be a real problem, because it will be functionally equivalent to a [FMC board + twinax cable + KCU105 kit] set with the same FPGA and interfaces.

  Cooling system design will hopefully be also finalized on a time scale of two weeks.

  Cheers,

    Alexander.
