Features #I/O #More I/O #Even more I/O *The components that are integrated into the Pandaboard a numerous and wonderful. The list goes on and on yet I’ll leave no stone left unturned.

Developer Delight: Do you own a Soldering Iron? #Hacks #Unpopulated Headers #GPIO *Open Hardware isn’t Open if we can’t solder it to our___ (insert item here) and add components to the board that we need to achieve a goal. Developers love to see hacks and innovation.

Glad you found the wiki useful. If you already have HW-accelerated graphics running on Panda, I can assure you that I have no desire to lug mine up to Portland in my suitcase! I’m shifting to the Snowball for a bit, anyway. I’d love to have dinner/lunch with you and discuss more. See exerciseforthereader.org to find my email. Looking forward to your session at any event.
