Depending on you expectations, it can be depressing or reassuring

My concern is that for some reason the chip goes EOL and they cannot fulfil the rest of the orders. The longer it goes the more likely that is to happen.
Part of the logic of using an automotive chip could be to reduce the likelihood of an EOL issue. Cars are expected to have much longer lifetimes than your typical throwaway Android phone. Automotive is second only to the military in that respect.

That is a good point, thanks for pointing that out. I’m just super anxious to get my hands on mine.
Apparently, NXP promises 15 years of production for the i.MX 8M series as reported by amosbatto in this post :

Ah thanks for digging that out for me.
FWIW we do appear to be 5 years into that 15 year cycle.
Hopefully I’ll have at least 5 years with my phone before the chip is EOL…jk…don’t @ me it’s a joke.

Since we’re starting to see orders into 2018 now being fulfilled, I was curious if anyone has seen their delivery estimate go from TBD to an actual upcoming quarter. For reference, I ordered in July 2019, still TBD.
Thanks!
May 2019 TBD. I don’t expect this to change until at least Q3 of this year from what I’ve seen in this topic.

I haven’t seen a change in status and I ordered in January 2019. Still TBD.

When I received the shipping confirmation email, my status still showed the estimated shipping as quarter 1 of 2022. The status didn’t change until it actually shipped. So checking your email is more important.

Noted but I don’t even have an email yet with a estimated shipping period but will keep that in mind when I eventually do receive one.
Please have a quick estimate:
I have ordered October 12, 2020 (EU version) and have a confirmation, it’s paid.
Shouldn’t it have arrived already??
You ordered in Oct 2020. I ordered nearly 2 years earlier. I don’t have much expectation of a delivery before six months are up because people who ordered in early 2018 are still waiting! To answer your question, yes, it should have been delivered, but there is a long queue. It isn’t a good look, but things seem to be progressing so I hang in.

Thanks a lot for the swift reply! Appreciate it.
So we have to wait … ok. Have to accept.
Am a little concerned since there are 2 years of backlog before my order may become proceeded. Quite a lot. Translates to quite long time I assume.
However …
Today still the same Order Status.
Just waiting
You will be waiting forever

My order date has it as July 2018. I don’t remember doing anything special…
