The next morning, a plain brown box arrived. Inside, nested in foam cut precisely to the board’s shape, was the FPGA board. Tucked beside it was a small card: “R6X9 Store — Every component tells a story. We make sure it’s a good one. Tested by: K. Tanaka, 2024-10-17. Pass.” There was also a QR code linking to a 2-minute video of their testing procedure for that board batch.
