These are interesting news for AVB people!
Though I'd like to know a little bit about the background assumptions that led to the statement "AVB endpoint solutions based on XMOS processors can be built for less than $10".
Does 'solution' include the costs of a whole PCB? What quantities do we talk about here?

Thanks, Oliver
