GR-PEACH? should this be removed from Mbed?

I do not understand why this is on the 'Official' Mbed platform page. I can't find a supplier and there seems to be no indication when or if it will be available.

Can I suggest it is 'deselected' from the 'Official' platform page and remain in beta new boards until such time it is available if indeed it ever is.

The platforms page is intended for visibility of hardware that is actually available.

Question relating to:

GR-PEACH is an Mbed enabled platform which combines the advantages of the Mbed ecosystem and Arduino UNO form factor.

This happened to me, too. I tried to find supplier in my country, but nothing had been found. In fact, some other platforms on the 'platform' list are not available, too. There seems no one to check this list routinely.

I believe if you dig in to the mbed link and follow the links to the Japanese site you'll find the board. I found it available here: http://wakamatsu.mobi/eccube/html/products/detail.php?product_id=12010615

Not sure I would buy it from an overseas supplier such as this but it does look real.

Thanks Bill, I did see that but my Japanese is a bit rusty :) I don't think they send outside of Japan, but how can you tell. I have bought from Japan with no problems in the past and would do so again. There will an element of import duties but not horrendous as these are around £40 (that's converting the Yen price).

They should edit the platform page and indicate the supply situation continuously. It is the responsibility of the platform vendor to keep their platform page up to date not Mbed. I administer the Teensy3.1 platform page that is not yet fully enabled and this notification can very easily be done.

It's an exciting product and many of us want to get hands on with it, so come on guys keep us informed. Farnell is a good world wide distributor and operate in many countries, these guys will stock bucket loads given the opportunity. There are many others distributers too.

The above link seems wrong, it should be this one: http://wakamatsu.mobi/eccube/html/products/detail.php?product_id=12010617

They seem not to take orders from outside Japan, no addresses for other countries can be entered, when ordering it.

I just got one from Digi-Key here in the US.

Edit: They shipped a Rev. C board, not Rev. E.

Hi Just Gary,

The rev E vs Rev C is a jumper, J21 Please find a link to the revisions.

The board difference now is on the mbed web site. https://developer.mbed.org/teams/Renesas/wiki/Difference-of-GR-PEACH-hardware-vers

Difference list of GR-PEACH revisions Revisions Descriptions ------- Revision B Prototype. Please refer to here about details. Revision C First edition Revision E Added a jumper 21(JP21)*. This revision and Revision C are no difference except for JP21. Revision F Changed silk screen. This revision and Revision E are no difference in function.

  • : It is the same function as the JP21 to connect "USB1-VBUS" and "+5V" with jumper wire.

Please refer to the following link about schematics of each revision. https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/Renesas-GR-PEACH/#schematics

  • : 「USB1-VBUS」と「+5V」をジャンパーワイヤで繋ぐ事で、JP21と同じ機能を実現できます。

Talking with the group that is in charge of the project at Recess, they expect availability of the Peach by end of this year. They learned a little from their release of the GR-Sakura a few years ago. He was talking availability through Digikey initially.

So I have just finished a conference with Renesas and the GR-Peach was here. Very cool. I tried to get them to give me one but they would not. They insisted the board *will be* available by the end of the year in the US. I really want one and the video capture board system they have as well!! Hello, Renesas, are you listening????

Bill, It's fairly difficult to get ahold of one. but it is possible. but until the end of the year it will be nigh on impossible :/
