BTW: I have contacted Freescale and Altium. They are aware of this project, but the truth is … I am not sure if the people even had a look at this website. It’s sad, but I understand that. A standard sales person or a manager doesn’t care. For them, the project doesn’t bring the “direct” money which they can show in the graphs. And it would be very hard to explain it – they would probably never understand that anyway. So I don’t even try. I rather spent my time by doing something more useful e.g. working on this project or making new videos Only the right people can see the value and potential in the projects like these. And I am open to speak to them.

First, Oh man, I love Olimex but I hate that post. Who will spend 6000 EUR for a CAD ? I’ll go a little futher, who will spend 4000 DOLLARS for a 12 layer stackup with blind and buried vias designed with EAGLE ? I bet you Olimex.

Right tool for the right moment. You CAN’T pretend that eagle solves all problems of electronic design from a CAD perspective. And please, don’t push me about that Windows 3.11 interface without contextuals menus and bla bla bla, the time is gold and I’m poor.

Secondly, I never ever stop appreciating this work. Not just iMX6REX but all things that you do ( the youtube channel earn a special mention ). The resources you put at our disposal, and the community in general are invaluable.

It’s a shame that some people ( not people personally, companies ) broke this ecosystem, and tried to absorb the work for his own purposes ( money, just money… ).

I don’t want to extend this comment more, but I want to say something else. The winner here are one company seen from all sides, Freescale had a hell of support on his community but I only saw big companys ( Congatec, Phytec, Boundary Devices, etc. ) earning a beutiful icon, premium user, platinium user, bla bla bla. Oh Freescale… you can’t imagine the possibilities that designs like these open to you but you just left these users aside

Ask Boundary Devices ( one day wasted beacause one big flaw on the design ), people working all day on his own kernel branch that only had problems solved by community, normal users and helping a company to make his support easier ( and earn more money ) for the special price of… NOTHING.

So, Thank you
