Good to see the pictures of the .
{Picky} Not the final images though - the reset button and caps are still in their current positions.
I see that Adapteva have made a sensible choice of removing the USB and HDMI chips and sockets as well as the Samtec connectors. Cool! Well, definitely cool-er!!
When my CFO/wife authorises the funds - these are the way to go to build that supercluster.
BUT -
Default linaro Ubuntu (and nano) images do not have the openssh (or any
sshserver) package installed.
As I found on the build, you need to run the board up with HDMI in order to install openssh, before you can revert to headless. I could do that because MY version still has the sockets, etc.
Not sure if the UART can be used to perform the
apt-get install - I suspect it can - but there are some incompatibilities (which I don't understand).
So, likely that the default Parallella linaro Ubuntu image (- and shodrucky's Nano build instructions - ) will need updating to ensure this vital package is included.
Are you intending to release a separate Parallella headless/server image?
Cheers,
