Bruce, Supporting bare chip sales involves a lot more than fabbing more wafers and shipping the packaged parts. Those’re the easy parts. A lot more needs to be done in qualification and production testing to ensure quality across all supported use cases when shipping bare chips in volume. Chips on known boards are easier to test as operating environment is highly constrained. We are working to support bare chip sales in due course, but some things take time to get right. Meanwhile, we are supporting a few board developers as Jack mentions, but are obviously bandwidth constrained.
