3D acceleration working with Ubuntu 13.04 for EOMA68-A20 (and Cubieboard2):

http://www.gplsquared.com/eoma_boot/eoma_boot.html#Ubunt_13_04_3D

Functions more and more like a real PC now.

Kicad also got installed and it is reasonably usable. So use that to design your next
EOMA application PCBs :)

Also installed were xfce4, lxde and openbox window managers.
Gambas installed from sources.

The sound works through jack socket (hdmi sound - nothing as yet although it is known
to work through booting up Android), and espeak works.
So you could send it commands through serial port for example software, let gambas
serial port program read the text and then the machine can be made talk back
by gambas calling espeak.
:
I used it for the embedded work - instead of reading reams of logs, it
puts important data out as text embedded inside <s>..things to say...</s> brackets
and I filter for that with a gambas program and get the most relevant
points read back out. NICE!!!

When you first log in, a 3D animation runs if its all working.
