ok, it's alive
I was scared at first.
It came with a tiny hdmi cable and says just plug everything and wait. I plugged it into an older Vizio. I could see the initial burst of kernel type messages then the tv said no signal. Damn, am I calling the UK for support?
Then I tried my much larger 2 year old RCA in my bedroom.
15 seconds and the graphical desktop came up. 5 screens later (language, keyboard, password, wifi, update) and it started grinding, and I had the full desktop up while it is updating.
And the update just errored. Well, time to click for a while...
... back.
Not an issue, random package not available. Total update time about 10 minutes, reboot in 15 seconds.
I felt my code slipping away, and I wanted to play on something open and well documented. Cheap helps too. I love this thing (so far).
