@ubii : Nice work, You've got it. My suggestion is : write an 'own' benchmark, or recompile an exists one.

@ysapir : You said : "...the host-device communication channel was horribly slow." Oops. ... But, luckily we have a new challenge. As usually at 'IO devices' --- oh No : Epiphany just as an IO device. YET. --- So, DMA and IRQ for her. (Is he or she, I think, she. We (males) are able to focus/do only one thing in one time period --- no parallelism ---.) A message passing method with polling technique is a good and safe starting point. [I|We] need some more efficient stuff. Share with us the details. I am sure, there is someone, who deliver a very nice solution, and an another one, and another one... Be open.

ed2k : Re to Your 'BTW note' : YES. This is it, this is the main point. Parallella Board : Everybody is on the board. I mean : here are these: processing system (CPU), programming logic (FPGA), supercomputing (CPU mesh). What premier league teams : ARM, Xilinx, Adapteva. Well, for Your keywords: - repo: under which umbrella? (where) ; - Core Team: agree. Let them work; - Community: Sorry, I do not understand You. What does it mean? : "Let the community take off your burden.".

Have a nice day! Gabor

@9600: Hi Andrew, Thanks. I got it now, and agree. --- 'nice phrases' : I should to learn English ---. Well, 'we' are ready.

Team Embecosm,

Thanks for taking the time to shoot the video and take the photos. Since there are so few of us, who ordered these prototype boards, it is nice to see others sharing their experiences with them. Since you guys wrote the SDK, how about making a few tutorial videos covering the SDK, including the various components, tools, and associated workflow?

[simoncook]

Currently we (Embecosm) do not have any particular plans to create tutorial videos but it is an interesting idea, and might be something to be done in future, we'll have to see. At the same time, perhaps someone else in the community could work on a couple of these.

Nice video on the unboxing and initial powerup of the prototype.

Can't wait to get one of these when they start shipping to non kickstart contributors.

Jeremy and Simon:

Loved the unboxing video! Very cool.

Thanks Simom/Jeremy,

That was a good watch and passed it to the IT Guy that will have fun getting ours working, etc. Ours is located in this office in Chesham, Bucks, England....

- but we will allowing it to be shared with "Log-Me-In" in due course, so the World will be able to access it.

Not 100% sure how this shareing will go, but worth a try! We will create a new Topic with details when it works, etc.
