Project dead?
Hi , I found one of the backer in reddit mentioned that this project is dead.
Could anyone please confirm?
Yes it is dead as they moved to different hardware, no I am not officially speaking or related to the project. https://github.com/solokeys/solo2 https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/tree/main/runners/lpc55/board Please refer to their new key.
I am just disappointed as it is less attractive now for "hackers". Since the dev board costs went from 15€ (STM32) to 55€ (NXP). However the change is not to anger users, they had to move to new hardware to have all the features (crypto coprocessor) accessible.
I understand their choice, even if it changes a lot of things for us. Btw you can just buy a SoloKeys Solo 2 and Nitrokey 3. Instead if you need merely an authenticator. Somehow the two projects partnered up: https://github.com/solokeys/fido-authenticator
My Solo v1 keys continue to work without any issues so I'm not bothered if it is now dead. I recently received a Solo v2...
This is very weird thing to do. Because they are still selling the Solokey v1 in their website: https://solokeys.com/products/solo-usb-a?variant=23528224391232
