Highly stable product and auto-updates the software
Customer service support depends on money. If you're a white box manufacturer and we're selling thousands of these, you're going to get awesome support, a ten, amazing support. But if you're starting and need only one or two chips, the support is just access to online stuff or whatever's been done. The better support comes with more units bought. Initially, I would probably rate the support a five out of ten. But then we paid more money, and suddenly, it became a ten, awesome. We had people showing up in the office and walking us through it. But there are also different support models. You can work with them directly or with distributors like Avnet or Arrow, who can provide support. And then there's higher level support with the team in Los Angeles who can provide even more support. It just depends on how many units you're going to buy. The more you buy, the more support you get in the queue.
