Hello,
I know its been a very long wait but I’m happy to report that CLEAR is finally shipping! All US-based shipments are on their way and International shipments will go out by the end of the week.
We ran into some unexpected issues during bring related to how the GPIO defaults were configured. This primarily affected access the diagnostic port on Caravel required to program the external Flash using a pass thru mode. To correct the issue, we implemented a change on the evaluation board and the utility program that programs the Flash.
The repo for CLEAR has been updated with the final evaluation boards design files as well as firmware examples and utilities for working with the board.

I’ll send another update once the final shipments are out. I’ve also created a channel
#clear on the open-source-silicon slack
site where you can post questions.
