The Wikipedia article isn’t bad:

The only first hand info I can add is the money guy passed away a couple
years ago, which probably put things into limbo and I’m not sure who is at
the helm of Xinuos now.  When I last talked to their engineering director
they had non-trivial revenue supporting the old products, enough to run
several product development engineers apart from whatever else it took to
keep the lights on.
