 @3ddab33a I’m unreasonably excited for the UART connector. I should be excited about PCIe! But no, giddy about an easy serial connection.

 @e3b10963 lol "how do you tell a dev from a typical user"

"show them a dedicated UART port and see how they react"

 @3ddab33a Well, I do work with Ampere Altra servers at my day job. Pretty soon I’ll even be managing the projects to support next gen processors like Ampere Siryn, etc.

So I’m wondering things like what level of SystemReady the rpi5 supports.

 @e3b10963 I asked about this in May—they aren't (yet) interested in pursuing SR support. I have expressed my interest in them getting there, but it's not a market demand from the majority of customers at this time.

It'd be so cool to have SR SBC though!
