There is no good way to answer all the questions than this. This is FPGA and this is silver core and again I ll repeat myself what's been supported now in this core version can be changed/improved later in future revisions of the apollo-core. I keep repeating myself that FPGA is re configurable device and this accelerator is different than any other before who is stuck once is produced without any or little possibility to be upgraded. As for kickstart uploading, all will be cleared and resolved, just gimme some time. I m doing lot of things in parallel and this takes time beside my regular job. I m doing soldering, 20 hours testings of each board, even making cardboard boxes and packaging cards myself, then going to the post office. The same time I m answering bunch of mails or PM. This is a huge task for one man beside the fact that others in the team doing probably more than me by working on future core releases. Just have patience...
 
Hats off to you majsta :thumbsup:

Love this project ! Plan to get one or two Vampires in the future myself, don't mind if price gets raised .. looks to be totally worth it :D
 
Having seen some of the videos on youtube that I think are from people who have received their Vampire V2, am really pleased I pre-ordered it.
 
Yeah Majsta we owe you so much (and to the whole team of course). Don't rush, keep Quality in mind. A million thanks for what you are actually achieving.
 
recieved my Vampire 2, will setup later,,, :D thankyou so much Majsta.
 
Card received 30/01/2016. Tested quickly yesterday : it works well! Thank you Majsta and the Apollo team, you're amazing :)
 
Does the vampire cover the ide header in anyway? looks like its going to be tight around there.

Click to expand...

Question is if it can even be used at all or we have to use an SD card? Don't remember seeing this being confirmed anywhere or maybe I missed it? Now that several people got it, I'm sure one can comment on it. :)
 
No, ide header are not covered at all. Here you can see a IDE cf adapteur that has still another connecter on the right from ide header... So, no collision problem at all with the A600 ide headers...

EDIT : Vampire sd car reader onboard is still not active. We have to use the A600 IDE.

I think you will have no problem, there is enough place. Plus, the Vampire is secured with 2 screws, one on each side of the board. It's well stable.
