Elecrow did a great job manufacturing and testing our 4-layer 5Gbps opensource backplane, saving us a ton of time when the boards came back -- They were already pretested!!!

Going forward, in addition to Elecrow manufacturing and testing back-end, we'll also use their store front-end. Moreover, Elecrow is tied into CrowdSupply sales channel, which further facilitates the placement of this product on the makers' market, as well as the overall execution of our business plan.
Elecrow has thus earned our trust. Our next step is to have Elecrow do a much more complex and dense 12-layer FPGA board with forty (!) 2Gbps balanced diff pairs and 0201 passives. Stay tuned...
