Most of the Shopping List is of the form, "If you want to do X, you'll need Y." My problem isn't knowing whether I need Y, it's knowing whether I'll need to do X.

First off, you need to go to a high end shop for these types of boards. Any
shop that has not built this type of board will be high initially. As the
shop gets more comfortable with the board the price comes down. Your
quantities are also extremely low. You need to the quantity up there to get
a better price. In quantit of 10K we pay under $20 per board.

The pricing you received is high even for these quantities. You are better
off going to MEI, DDI, or Streamline, all of whom have already built this
board before.

The REV C board will have the LCD signals brought out to a pair of headers.
Rev C will be out late Q1 for purchase. We are testing the prototypes now.
The REV C schematics are set, but will not be released until testing is
completed. All of the signals that connect to the TFP410 are the signals
that are brought out on these headers including the I2C3, 5V, 3.3V, and
1.8V.
