Do you mean that the upstream progress of the Cubie4 has stopped? That's not a good sign -- although the 64 bit v8 architecture in the next rev is very exciting indeed! OCaml trunk has a native code generator for it, which works well enough in my qemu testing so far, so Mirage itself shouldn't

Definitely recommend the Cubieboard2 or Cubietruck. I think that the sunxi development of cubieboard4 has dried up even though it's marked to be included in the next release. The only issue I've found with cubieboard2/3 - which is definitely the way to go - is that if you run the boards with

I tried briefly to get HDMI working with xen-arm-builder [0] some time ago. If I remember correctly the problem then was that to get the Mali driver [1] working I had to use an older Sunxi linux kernel. Many of the Sunxi patches have been added to the main Linux kernel, but it seems that support fo

I hook up the Cubieboard to my Mac laptop to get it Internet sharing, and present via a webbrowser and a terminal SSHed into the board. Good enough, but not nearly as cool as a USB/Bluetooth clicker and HDMI output would be... -a > On 26 Aug 2015, at 17:25, Garrett Smith wrote: > > How do you

How do you present otherwise? Just boot and then access the application via known ports? On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 4:25 AM, Anil Madhavapeddy wrote: > Definitely recommend the Cubieboard2 or Cubietruck. One hitch is that the > onboard graphics HDMI driver doesn't work under Xen, or else it would b

Definitely recommend the Cubieboard2 or Cubietruck. One hitch is that the onboard graphics HDMI driver doesn't work under Xen, or else it would be possible to just present directly from the embedded device via HDMI. I suspect it's just a minor patch to Xen to permit some memory mapped addresse

The most commonly used platform afaik is the cubieboard2, though cubieboard3 (aka cubietruck) is also known to work fine (albeit using WiFi USB dongle rather then the on-board WiFi). I don't think anyone's tried the cubieboard4 yet. Can't help with US supplier I'm afraid! On 26 Aug 2015 5:32 am, "
