List of necessary devices to boot up?

[penguin]

I bought a Parallella-16 Desktop Computer lately.

My LCD monitor doesn't support HDMI interface.
I have one USB keyboard, one USB Wacom tablet which I use for mouse too.

Necessary devices that I need to boot up the Parallella is:
A Monitor that supports HDMI interface
HDMI to mini-HDMI adapter
USB to mini-USB adapter
USB hub that supports at least two USB devices
A mini-SD card which has enough disk space

Can someone clarify my estimation?

That sounds about right. Personally, I wouldn't go with a Micro SD card of less than 16GB. And I'd go for a USB powered hub from a respected brand (cheap powered hubs don't always comply with the USB specifications and can damage boards).

Alternatively, you could just connect to it over the network via SSH or similar, and if you want to run graphical applications forward these over X11 to a remote Linux/Mac machine (or Windows with X server software).

Cheers,

Andrew

I have a micro HDMI to DVI (24+1) cable plugged into a DVI socket on my monitor, but the monitor sees no signal.
I also have used the micro to standard HDMI lead supplied with Parallella to the HDMI input on a TV it all works fine.
The TV text clarity is not good, so I would prefer to use the monitor
Do I need a special driver for the DVI input monitor?
Many thanks
Cliff

Some monitors which don't work initially can be made to by . Of course, YMMV.
