OK, the MNT Quasar 6490 Processor Module is here, check it out! https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-quasar-6490-processor-module

Thanks to @LinaroLtd and especially @cas for working on this with me, and @nlnet (through NGI0 Core) for helping us fund this most complex module yet! And thanks to @holo_memory for preparing the launch.

@mntmn @LinaroLtd @cas Congratulations on getting this module launched! I wonder if there's room to further improve active run time. Is power management already on par with what the same SoC can achieve with, say, a Qualcomm Android BSP, or is there still more work to do in the mainline kernel? Maybe an opportunity for more funded work for the right kernel hacker?

But for now, congratulations on this achievement!

@matt @LinaroLtd @cas thank you! i'm sure that there's more possible, but we don't want to overpromise.

@mntmn @LinaroLtd @cas I'm also curious if you chose the C6490P rather than the C6490 because the WiFi on the latter SoM wouldn't work with mainline Linux, or for some other reason. Thanks again!

@matt @LinaroLtd @cas the choice was mainly for the upward pin compatibility with C8550 and C8750.
