E-mail Print PDF

June 29th 2011, Gumstix has placed the Overo FE COM back in the online store at www.gumstix.com. Lead time for an online order is expected to be within 15 days of order placement.

 

Due to the long lead time of the extended temperature OMAP processors, lead time for a volume order could be  as long as 14-16 weeks. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for further information on a volume order of an extended temperature Overo COM.

===============================

The notice had been the following:

As of May, 11 2011, Gumstix has been informed of unexpected constraints in the supply of the extended temperature OMAP3530 Applications Processors.

As such, Gumstix has removed the Overo FE COM from the online store at www.gumstix.com at this time as an online order only remains authorized for 30 days.

This long lead time on the extended temperature processor also prevents Gumstix from shipping any existing order that includes one or more Overo FE COMs. Each customer with an online order that includes an Overo FE COM has been contacted by email.

Customers may wish to place their order(s) at www.gumstix.com with Overo COMs other than Overo FE COMs until such time as Gumstix can supply Overo FE COMs in a timely manner.

Based on current supply information, Gumstix expects to be able to sell the Overo FE COM again in the online store by mid-June, 2011,

Gumstix continues to provide quotations for volume orders that include Overo FE COMs, albeit with longer lead times expected.

Supply of Gumstix Overo COMs other than the Overo FE COM are not affected by this notice.
