If you mean a single post with all the information on the project, such a thing does not exist. The FAQ on the communitysqueeze.org site gives a lot of information on the project. The status of the software: an image for the Wandboard dual and quad exists which can be used with an external DAC, USB, HDMI or TOSLINK. The TOSLINK hardware on the dual wandboard is incorrect and will not work in many situations. The TOSLINK on the quad board has been corrected. Te latest released image is available on the communitysqueeze.org site. The thread about the F19 R1 release in the linux forum contains pointers to the very latest greatest testing versions of the software. On the hardware side the CSP1 carrier board is designed but I am on vacation right now so no new work is happening until I get back. (in about 3 weeks) We are waiting for some custom parts to arrive before having a few made. Hopefully they will be in when I get back. We are working towards having beta boards out before the end of the year. The CSP2 version will be the general release version of the board, it hopefully will be the same as the CSP1 or only small bug fixes found in beta testing. The FAQ contains a lot of information about what this board will contain. The current line up of interfaces is: back panel: 2 RCA jacks for audio, 2 XLR jacks for audio, 3.5mm stereo jack for headphone, 75ohm BNC jack for coaxial SPDIF, full size TOSLINK for optical SPDIF, HDMI jack, two full size type A host USB jacks, two micro type A host USB jacks, one micro OTG USB jack, one gigbit ethernet jack, one 5.5x2.1mm barrel jack for power one micro USB jack just for power (wired as charging jack) one SMA jack for wifi antenna. On the board but not on the back panel, designed to be used by DIYers that want to do something different: standard SATA connector (only active if using a quad wandmodule) 4pin "Molex" power connector with just 5V, 3 micro type A host USB jacks, 24pin 0.5mm FFC connector with audio interfaces, I2S, clock out, clock in, clock family select, internal/external clock select, 50 pin 0.5mm FFC connector with display signals: parallel interface, LVDS and SPI The philosophy is that other interfaces (such as IR remote, "trigger output" etc will be done using USB, which is why there are so many USB jacks on the board. That is the current status. If you have any more questions, just ask.
