@User Hi, I'd like to ask you if the chips are provided pre-soldered in PCBs and, if so, where can I find some info on the PCB design etc. Thank you

We will provide some number of chips assembled on a development board, and the remaining unassembled parts in a box. We will put the design files for the development board in the caravel repository when they are done. The board will be like other similar boards we have done, which is to say it will have a USB port, FTDI USB/serial converter, an SPI flash, the caravel chip, and voltage regulators.

Nice, thank you!
