It already arrived yesterday. Now I did power it on - and I am really impressed. It is the first board I have seen where there is 3D-GPU support included in the preinstalled NAND image. It starts with Xfce, Debian 7.5 (Wheezy), Kernel 3.0.8 and as said SGX drivers are included and loaded. Running the sgx_clipblit_test can be done immediately from the command line. This is where LetuxOS on omap3 still fails... So far I only have these observations: * there is no heartbeat so unless a monitor is connected it is difficult to tell if the board is running * the apt/sources.list is outdated and points to server names no longer available (Debian rearranges things every now and then) * I had to change the keyboard layout * the board has a standard-SD slot (but I have enough adapters) * the Mini-USB/OTG port is installed vertically - funny :) * it is not clear how where and how to connect an RS232 port - but kernel boot log is shown on screen So in summary it was a good decision to get one :) Now I have to learn how to find and boot a prebuilt SD (only) image with Debian (so far I only found one that would reflash NAND). And then adapt makesd to be able to create LetuxOS images with Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch, Buster, LXDE, XfCE, Mate, QuantumSTEP, QtMoko, Replicant... And finally make SGX 1.14 work for them (I can already compile the pvrsrvkm driver for jz4780).
