Hello,

Thanks for your response! Great -- I will try out f20.

Who can I email to bug them about releasing the HDMI driver? Would the Wandboard mailing list be the right place to do that? Or is it Freescale?

Cheers,

John

Yes we plan to fully support the wandboards.  We do not produce images
for any board at all, instead we produce an image that needs some small
tweaking to be usable on any supported board.

we intend to provide the tooling to do the tweaking. There is currently
no support for the wandboard in the tooling, that is something greatly
needed. the current f20 kernel works fine on the wandboard quad, I do
not know of anyone testing on the solo or dual versions. there is no
support for X as the hdmi driver is not yet upstream.
