There's the VGA interface. Any tweaks you want to add, add.
By the way, I saw on the rhombus-tech site that there'll be possibly an x86 CPU Card -- I'm looking forward to that.
I'm a devout Puppy Linux fanatic and there isn't much in ARM territory with that distro. There's a version for the RasPi that works if your software skills are good and you have strong enough convictions, and someone's devving a version for A10 based stuff but it's in Alpha... my software skills suck (and that's on a good day!).
"make" doesn't build applications for me, it builds error messages and noisy fireworks that are showy but unproductive. Sometimes it'll actually give me a broken application. I consider myself pretty lucky at that point. Once in a while tho it goes off the deep end and tries to put together a magic chocolate factory or some crap like that... it usually doesn't get very far... usually I get that only when I have to use both "make" and "configure" or something like that.
I'm happiest with the x86 stuff -- watt-hog that it is, relative to ARM, it "just works", you know? I can just tack on LibreOffice or Wine or Chrome or whatever and it works as long as I'm not trying to exceed the capabilities of the distro or something equally stupid.

LOVE the name :D that's great... KDE as in K Desktop Environment, or is there something else out there using the same acronym...? I'm more partial to GNOME2 myself :P
Same KDE, they need a device on which to show case their Plasma Active Tablet environment.
Nice thing is, with an GPL compliant card, you'll be able to port, or get port any distribution / desktop you wish. It's all down to dollars, time and/or effort.

The Code Name for the KDE based tablet. This will be the one of the first feature products to use the EOMA-68 Cards.
The initial attempt at a device named 'Vivaldi' ran into complications. I don't know any of the details really, but I believe it had to due with GPL violation on the part of the SoC vendor. Someone more knowledgeable can fill that in, or you can search the list archive for previous answers.
