We are excited to announce that the LOGI boards are back in stock at element14. We hope you like the changes made on the new boards. The latest boards are being call Version 2 at element14, with the revision number being R1.5. We hope to keep cranking out the boards and have some designs in the pipeline, which we are figuring out when and how we will be releasing these. Stay tuned!
Note that the LOGI-Cam was not MFG'd and will not be carried by element14. This is based upon the OEM OV7670 module not passing FCC/CE testing, which is outside of our control. We are in the process of designing a new camera module, which will support many new features including Parallel orLVDS interfacing, Snapshot feature, stereo vision operations. We will keep you posted on this progress and hope to have something in your hands soon. In the mean time, we do have extra stock of the old LOGI-Cam which we can sell directly - email support@valentfx.com if interested.

Here are the change listings for the LOGI boards.
LOGI Pi Version 2 Change Listing
FCC and CE Compliance
The LOGI Pi design has undergone testing to meet FCC and CE certifications.
GPIO Expander
An I2C GPIO expander was added to handle FPGA IO control during programming. This Frees up Raspberry Pi GPIO pins for other uses.
Mounting Holes
Mounting holes to support the Raspberry Pi B+/2 were added. This give support for all Raspberry Pi Board variants including A/B/B+/2.
Micro-USB connector for Power
A Micro-USB connector was added to allow additional power to be supplied to the LOGI board in the case of high powered applications or for use as a standalone board.
Increased Flash size from 16Mbit to 32Mbit
A new SPI flash was used which increases the memory from 16Mbit to a 32Mbit.
SPI Buffer to FPGA and Flash
An IO buffer was added on the Raspberry Pi SPI pins that allow the SPI port to be isolated from the Flash chip pins when not being used for FPGA configuration. The Flash chip can then be directly accessed from the FPGA without conflicting with communication between the Rasperry Pi and the FPGA.
LOGI Bone Version 2 Change Listing
FCC and CE Compliance
The LOGI Bone design has undergone testing to meet FCC and CE certifications.
GPIO Expander
An smaller I2C GPIO expander was added to handle FPGA IO control during programming.
Micro-USB connector for Power
A Micro-USB connector was added to allow additional power to be supplied to the LOGI board in the case of high powered applications or for use as a standalone board.
Increased Flash size from 16Mbit to 32Mbit
A new SPI flash was used which increases the memory from 16Mbit to a 32Mbit.
SPI Buffer to FPGA and Flash
An IO buffer was added on the BeagleBone SPI pins that allow the SPI port to be isolated from the Flash chip pins when not being used for FPGA configuration. The Flash chip can then be directly accessed from the FPGA without conflicting with communication between the BeagleBone and the FPGA.
LOGI EDU Version 2 Change Listing
LOGI Bone and LOGI Pi compatible
The LOGI EDU can now be used with the LOGI Bone by using 2 PMOD ports of the LOGI EDU at a time. The LOGI EDU pins were optimized to partition onboard functionality between two sets of PMOD ports. The user can select which functionality they would like to use connect to the appropriate set of EDU PMOD ports to access the functionality.
