Yesterday I got my Parallella board in the mail, so I thought I'd write a short port with my first impressions. After getting some peripherals at the local store I tried to get it running. I couldn't get it too boot past the Tux logo at first but for some reason today it woke to life.. sort of.For some reason it changes the colour scheme on my monitor to some blurry blue mess (YPbPr instead of RGB) and I can't change it back. Neither did my keyboards work with it so I couldn't log in via X. Fortunately sshd was running so after checking the IP my router gave it I could log in remotely, the way I was planning on doing it later anyway. I was then greeted by the horrible tcsh prompt, which I changed it to bash immediately. After that I noticed that some example software was in my home folder, so I tried to check that out. However they didn't compile. Some "e-hal.h" and "libe-hal.so" files was missing and various other compiler errors were listed, so I gave up on that.Now I have a 70°C hot, credit card sized, paper weight by my desk I can't login to graphically and I have no idea what to do with. I was originally planning on putting it away somewhere, let it do bookkeeping tasks such as backup and services and occasional offload computation, but because it actually requires cooling I'm unsure where to put it and what to do with it. Hmmm...
