Silently a new 96board starts appearing: Cello
It seems to be produced by LeMaker and is based around the AMD A1100 SoC. That's the same as on the illusive Husky, actually both boards look very similar with only minor differences in the placement of some connectors.
The LeMaker product page has it up for preorder for 299$; with an estimated shipping time frame of 2016Q2. http://www.lenovator.com/product/103.html
This could mean the first "cheap" 64 bit ARM server board becoming available. Also more power: A57 cores. Though I'm sure hrw will still disapprove as it has SATA, but is a weird non-industry-standard form factor.
Oh, and the obligatory question: Will it be 96boards compliant and are we going to get to see the actual compliance report?
Cheers

Yep, it seems to be almost exactly the same board, but with the advantage of actually being available to buy. I saw one this morning (although to be fair I saw one of the fabled husky boards too :-)

Indeed. Ethernet on board and a useful amount of RAM makes it the 1st 96board useful for 'real work'. A lot of people have been waiting for this.

A very good question. A1100 is all upstreamed now SFAIK which is a good start. At least it won't have any non-free graphics (no GPU) :-) Sadly firmware doesn't have to be free to be compliant, but it will be UEFI so stuff should work.
Wookey

There are some non-significant design difference but yes using the same SoC.

The board is still in development - it will be going through Compliance process. To the best of our knowledge, the hardware specification is aligned with 96Boards EE specification.
Currently we have completed compliance reports for Dragonboard410c, HiKey and Bubblegum96. More updates will come shortly in terms of publication of these reports.

Hi, Guys
It run into the end of 2016. Is there some update for Cello or Husky? Another AMD based board Overdrive 1000, from Softiron, will be shipped on 12, Dec for pre-order customers.
And RK3399 based board(RK3399 Q7[1] and Firefly RK3399[2]) is likely shipped in the early of next year(Janurary or March respectively). Those board also support PCIe and 1Gb ethernet. The shortage is 4G maximum of memory and small L2 cache.
Regards
Bamvor
