I just got my neo 1973 by mail today and I will try to flash the image and load rootfs sometime in the evening. Just had a couple of questions as i am new here.
1. Is there a place where the latest tested image and rootfs is available for download. the wiki links to a number of files and one is not sure which image matches the rootfs. 2. When I have connected the usb cable to a powered usb port and the neo is switched off is it charging (there is no indicator) thanks Rakshat PS i am going through the wiki but if there is a forum where these questions have already been answered please guide me there so i don't mail the entire list every time.
