Thus it is possible that there will be a r1 board in the future. However, I think you are correct about the SoC. There won't be any new revisions of the JH7100 SoC. All chips with that part number will have the same design. There will eventually be JH7110 which is a different design but I did not want to prematurely add a compatible for that. Thanks, Drew
