Recently the Novena funding reached a 300k USD extended goal. This is especially interesting because at this rate some of the money will be used to develop an open source grafic driver for iMX6, which inludes HW acceleration. See above crowdsupply link for details. My main interest for iMX6 don't include display requirements, but I can imagine a few use cases where I want one. Not only as a notebook, but the novena board with its FPGA makes a nice lab platform. If you look a bunnies blog you will notice a digital scope project. http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3957 -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
