By the Mouser page at http://www.mouser.com/new/beagleboardorg/pocketbeagle/ it has a "SGX530 graphics accelerator" so it seems like it must have video. In my earlier looking around it seems like I ran across the fact that it has a micro (not mini) HDMI, so I wanted to double check that because I

Hello, I experimented with kodi on the cubox-i without proprietary extensions. So far no luck yet, but I think I have not yet hit the hard roadblocks... First I tried without an X-server directly on framebuffer. How would I tell kodi not to search for an X11 display? I get in the kodi crashlog

Why so little info on the Pocket Beagle?

I ordered one of these yesterday: http://www.mouser.com/new/beagleboardorg/pocketbeagle/ and I'd like to be up to my nose in fat PDFs to study about it but I can't find anything. If it's new on the market I guess that could explain it but I'm not sure it is. It's no stellar performer these days,
