Hi Erik,

Yes, I'm sure you participated, but may be not in the complete meeting.

The concern was regarding the hardware already in the factory, which took a long time to be designed, not considering extension
headers, so if we use them, it should be a firmware process, instead of hardware based, with the consequent lower performance.

Regards,
Jordi
