Oh thanks for the quick reply.
Hmm, I am flat on my back with back problems and theoretically have to fly on a business trip tomorrow.
Will do my best.

Not sure what to do about the following error :

linaro-nano:~/Parallella/parallella-examples> git pull
Updating 138a344..aab5584
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

You could try deleting the directory and do a 'git clone' of parallella-examples' again.

Thanks !
I have mandlebrot running and it is pretty stunning ! Speed !
I will write a new version of the original how-to.

The official Ubuntu image ubuntu-lxde-14.03.06-p16g1.img has several issues e.g. no sound, no device node creation, poor desktop performance, instability on boot up...
So we have to apply these tips first.

Because Mandelbrot, Blobubska and aobench use native framebuffer, you have to connect HDMI monitor/TV and keyboard to the Parallella, and run them natively. (They won't run on a X Window or a VNC)

[Dr.BeauWebber]

Yes I have aobench running fine as well.
As you say, I need to do further updates for the blobuska example, to sort the sound issue.
