Received the EFIKA almost totally out of the blue one morning. Was a real surprise to get this board down all the way to New Zealand as I though it might take a little longer than that to receive. Also I'm fairly certain that the efika arrived almost 3(or is it 4 years already) years to the date of getting my pegasos 1.
The packaging was good, especially noted the MAC address stamped on the outside of the packaging. The A4 printed instruction manual was more than enough to get started and looks very professional, even better than the previous Pegasos boards.
The main obsticle that most people will note is the non-standard hole pattern for mounting the board into any commercially available cases, given that the end user is embedded applications I'm not surprised (or bothered) as they would certainly produce their own case for each application.
