Core Infinity board

[thumb5]

It has just occurred to me that if the new models have the CI board fitted, wouldn’t we see a change in the layout of the Configurator?

...

Then I started thinking that what if the new models could be  configured directly, without needing to use the online Configurator anymore. That would be awesome, wouldn't it?

That would be awesome, and trivially easy to implement.

And, yet, Devialet has never mentioned or even hinted at such a feature, to my knowledge...

"Trivially easy"?  How did you arrive at that estimation?  Very little that people casually describe as a "trivial" software development is truly trivial when it applies to anything other than a personal project, even less so for an embedded system.  Bearing in mind the effort for proper specification, testing, quality control, configuration management, ... the list goes on.

That said, of course it would be really useful and is something I would very much like to see Devialet implement (see https://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=591).  I'm not holding my breath as I expect it's not very high on their list of priorities.
