Question About The Pcb+screen Blog Picture

[Vorporeal]

I'm just wondering - can the PCB+screen setup shown in the latest blog post actually display anything on the screen? I'm just wondering whether that just showed the components being attached or there's more functionality than we see in the picture.

(This post is directed more towards Craig/MWeston, I guess.)

We know that they've at least powered it up.

This is pure speculation, but I'm betting that the next update from the team will show that screen in action.

It's a different screen in Squidge's vids AFAIK.

Squidge's videos were done on the dev board. That board is a generic platform that developers can use to test software for the OMAP SoC.

MW claims that the actual Pandora hardware is up and running too, but we mere mortals havn't seen that yet

I know, I was just trying to shed some hope on to the subject.

That will indeed *probably* be the next blog entry.

Ooooh I can't wait!

You're thinking "Johny 5 is alive!" from the Steve Gutenberg film Short Circuit. A fine movie, but certainly not the quote's origin.

The original was from the 1931 horror classic Frankenstein: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xos2MnVxe-c

Interesting to see the actual LCD, as opposed to a dev-board one.

I really should keep a closer eye on this YouTube stuff...
