Estimate your Librem 5 shipping

Hardware Librem 5
625

It does look like you got jumped ahead of me in the Librem 5 USA queue. I was in batch dogwood and when I switched that should have been honored.

I just a few days ago got an email from them claiming they finally had all the parts needed to make a major manufacturing run of Librem 5 USAs and would likely start banging them out in early February. I would hope mine would be among the first of them.

Yeah, I don’t know all the details. My friend shared some pictures of the phone with me today :slight_smile:. It looks nice!

I’m in the regular L-5 line, so I figure I have some more waiting to do.

Is this new batch of Librem 5 come with new wlan chipset-AP6275S like wifi 6?

628

WiFi/BT is on an M.2 card. Is there any reason to think that the vendor of that card has changed the chipset?

Regardless, changing the card at this point would seem to create additional integration, testing and support risk.

It is diferent vendor, as you know the current chipset redpine signal it having too much problem on wlan and wpan and save-power, so the L5 with purism can ship newer chipset, to improvement everything…
As far i know the chipset-AP6275S it already enabled on the L5 kernel time ago.

One of my phones currently has a different WiFi module mounted indeed, but at this moment there’s no change when it comes to shipped devices.

Thank you. Please tell us how that chipset works unlike the redpine signal? will Purism sell this chipset in the future?

It’s way too early to say anything, it’s best to ignore it for now until some decisions are actually made :wink:

Great. Thanks.

I forgot something, do you know how to check the pcb-revision number on Librem 5?
At few months ago i see Eric kuzmenko updating the revisions of L5, but I do not know what revision number my Evergreen it is…it is somewhere?

635

Until now, only v1.0.2 and v1.0.3 Evergreens have ever been shipped, and IIRC these two differ only with some minor layout changes to make production easier (schematics are exactly the same).

I believe the PCB version should be also printed on its silkscreen.

You are right. So my 1300 was close estimated.

Any comments on the v1.0.6 Evergreen?

So, have any of those 1,100 phones shipped out yet? I would’ve expected some posts here in the past couple weeks…

Possibly this one? Elementary gestures like context menus? - and other first impressions

And this one? https://teddit.net/r/Purism/comments/shchxw/hells_snowstorm_part_two/ (previously posted as: https://old.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/sgzh8i/hell_has_officially_had_a_snowstorm/)

We’re currently at v1.0.6.1, and that’s what the newly arrived batch is (from what I know no v1.0.6 phones were ever shipped). The only functional changes since v1.0.3 that I’m aware about are improved GPS sensitivity and a change regarding DP AUX channel that could improve compatibility with some USB-C peripherals.

Well must say that is good news. My order was Dec 2017 and my order details are saying “Librem 5 - 1st Quarter 2022” so maybe it will arrive before mid-year :slight_smile:

643

Oh dear, I backed on Oct 20, 2017. I haven’t heard anything. My order in the web shop says: “Estimated Shipping Date: Librem 5 - please contact support for information”. I did that a while ago, but never got a reply. How disappointing. :disappointed:
