  Part Change Notice #11202: Audio Power Supply Removed

  Products Affected:	CFA10098, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2, CFAF320240F-035T-A1-2, CFAF480128A0-039TN-A1-2, CFAF1024600B0-070SC-A1-2, CFA240320E0-024SC-KIT, CFA240320E0-024SN-KIT, CFA480128E0-039TC-KIT, CFA240400E1-030TC-KIT, CFA240400E1-030TN-KIT, CFA800480E3-050SC-KIT, CFA800480E3-050SN-KIT, CFA800480-E3050SR-KIT, CFA800480E3-050SW-KIT
  Date Issued:	May 25, 2023
  Summary:	Audio Power Supply Removed
  Description:	The audio power supply has been removed from the board. Audio power will now only be able to be supplied externally. Hardware Version Changes: h0v2 to h1v0
  Reason:	The audio power supply chip is no longer available and it was determined that it would be better for external power supplies to be used to demonstrate the EVE's audio capabilities.

  End-Of-Life #11130: End-Of-Life Notification

  Products Affected:	CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1
  Date Issued:	June 9, 2022
  Summary:	End-Of-Life Notification
  Description:	Some modifications are being made to the PCB design to improve reliability and manufacturability. The board cutout for the capacitive touch screen is being moved and the reset line to the EVE chip is being routed to the reset pin for the helper processor onboard. The parts are being replaced as follows: CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TC CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TC-KIT CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TN CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TN-KIT
  Reason:	The current PCB design requires the capacitive touch screen FPC tail to be stretched and needs to be given more slack. The reset line is not brought out to the helper processor on the current PCB revision so a reset toggle does not truly reset the whole system. Current PCB revision: 10097 h0v3

  Part Change Notice #11080: Firmware Change

  Products Affected:	CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1
  Date Issued:	March 15, 2021
  Summary:	Firmware Change
  Description:	The firmware is being updated to better manage the power down sequence.
  Reason:	If the power down was very short, it could cause the microcontroller to go into a weird state resulting in abnormal display operation.
  Availability:	Will be available in the next couple of weeks. We will release a notice when the cutover occurs.
