I now have my Parallella set up with a keyboard and mouse connected via an unpowered hub and both seem to work.
The serial output is connected via a MM232R serial-USB converter and accessed using TeraTerm which seems to work fine.
Ethernet is not connected yet.
The board is powered by a lab power supply and at 5.0V draws 1100mA.
The monitor is a Bravia display running in HDMI mode.
At bootup the Parallela logo is displayed but the screen resolution seems wrong as all I see is the logo and
there is no sign of a Linux desktop. Nor do I see at any stage the Linux penguins.
What should I be seeing at this stage?
The demo 'screensavers'( the fireworks(?) and falling shapes(?) displays ) seem to overfill the screen.
How do set the screen resolution?
Thanks for any help
