This week was episode 2 or our 3 part series on the dragonboard 410c. Last week Robert showed an out of box experience and how to set-up your dragonboard and he also announced our contest for a chance to win one of several dragonboards. In this episode we had a demo done by Lawrence King from his desk at Qualcomm Canada and it was also during this episode we took down names for those that wanted to be part of the drawing The final episode of the series this week will be a live panel at our Linaro Connect event in Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss the dragonboard and to answer any questions. At the end of the Live Panel we will draw names from those that entered the contest during episode 2 and announce the winners live. We will actually have two OpenHours sessions next week - the first one during our normal time of 4pm (BST) where Robert will stream the keynote from LAS16 and a second one at 2pm (PST) where we will have a panel discussion and announce the winners of our contest.

As always there is a lot of good information and resources that is available in the chat below, this is a great place to get more detailed information mentioned during the call. Also a while ago in the hangout Robert shared a link to allow people to submit topics or questions for the developers on the hangout. The link is: https://discuss.96boards.org/t/openhours-topic-suggestion/ and Robert will take these suggestions and try to incorporate these into future OpenHours.
Don’t forget about the upcoming Linaro Connect where attendees have an opportunity to meet with Linaro in person and learn a lot more about what is going on in the community. There are still openings available to attend this conference in Las Vegas, Nevada September 26-30, 2016 –http://connect.linaro.org/.
Please remember, if you get stuck, there are resources to help you through the installation. Feel free to check out the 96Boards forums, 96Boards wiki, or Freenode IRC channel #96boards (there are many ways to access IRC, this website is one of them). Dig around the wiki, create a new forum thread, and/or post a question in the chat.

Lawrence, did you use a four-dimensional USB stick?

Demonstration effect at work.
focus is blurry.
T
a log of your screen after the talk would help, of course.
i.e., one of the three-letter-agencies (e.g. ATT) key loggers would help 3

Now, for someone thoroughly confused about anything beyond CMOS transistor level … where do I get a Tool For Dummies, like a Snapdragon assembler?
do you provide yocto layers and how mature are they ?
