Ubuntu 13.04 now running on EOMA68-A20

(The same image can work on Cubieboard2 as well with some minor tweeks.)
The EOMA now functions like a powerful arm-netbook desktop computer and as powerful as any netbooks that first came out.
ahh fantastic.
Probably under $50 BOM costs for a netbook like ARM PC box with say an upgradeable 16GB sata SSD built into the box.
*have* to make that happen. this was the whole damn reason why this list was created in the first place, 3 and a half years ago. http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-netbook/2010-February/thread.html
with the flying squirrel PCB nearly there, adaptation to turn it into a laptop is really not that hard. the alternative is the USB-based solution (like the atrix lapdock that christopher's taking apart at the moment).
I ordered up more ssds and other bits of kit to see what else can be made into reality. Just need one LCD to work now, and then i get go ahead probably for half dozen to try out and get working.
