Since it hasn't been posted here yet:
Dear Customers,
We have just received a call from VeriSilicon and they'll tape out in few hours.
The files have been validated by the 10 servers that have been working for the past 36 hours and they are ready for upload to Global Foundries.
Right now VeriSilicon is going through the review of each department to get the signatures required for tapeout. Once this is complete the files will be sent to Global Foundries.
We will update you once the files have been sent (tapeout).
Regards!
The Black Arrow Team.

I hope they get everything right. Every dept. is under pressure (that we created) to get these prints out to Global. People tend to make mistakes...under pressure.

Another great pearl of wisdom... so now if the chip doesn't work, it can't be BA's or Verisilicon's ineptitude but it will surely be our fault because we "created" this pressure!?  Are you even aware that the tape out is 2 months late? Or let me ask a better question - did you actually think at all before posting the above message? |

Hi, i'm a batch1 customer. In my opinion a lot of people here don't fully understand the terms and conditions of the preorders we put to BA and don't understand the risk of make an investment. As a customers whe have right to be angry about the delay and try to push to get the best posible compensation. But please stop the shit storm and the scam conspiracy theory.

Pressure is what makes the world go round. You want something done, you give the job to a busy person and he'll get it done. Give it to someone not busy and it will get put off. That's life. If you don't believe that, you're part of the recipient class who wants everything handed to them. |

Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen people do some of their very best work with a gun to their head. It's inspiring. |

I'll agree on that, although that knife can cut both ways so I do see what he's saying. What I am concerned about is time for benchmarking/quality testing/troubleshooting to ensure these things don't run for a week and melt into a pile of ooze. Ah well, at this point it's not like I want to wait for all that either. Just get it done and get it out. wait, that sounds like my wife  Wouldn't that be the other way around........got to get it out first...don't ya  |

Minion ASIC - Tapeout complete
23/02/2014: We are happy to report that VeriSilicon has completed our Minion ASIC yesterday and taped out to Global Foundries today.
Black Arrow is working hard to improve the existing designs of our miners and ensure that the pre-ordered miners will be assembled and dispatched immediately after the chips arrive from the factory.

Thanks for the update. It would appear that after this significant event production decisive points should have greater predictability. Keep us apprised of developments. |
