[MinnowBoard] Ask informations MinnowBoard max

[idealsim]

Hi, i just discovered this board last week and i have some questions. For
informations at this moment i also use card with arm (rpi2, udoo quad,
pcduino). This card works well but it can take many times to build the
software from source (to adapt it to arm processor).
If i understand, on minnowBoard, i can install a standard distribution
like ubuntu 14.10 64 bits (or windows 8) ? No need to make a special build
(i can take the binary file from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
for installation ?). If it's ok, i suppose that i need a special kernel to
have access to the GPIO (the std ubuntu release don't have this) or
perhaps a patch (script) ? When this is done, can i install, like on x86
pc, a software on it ? For example, for my project i need to use Qt5.4, on
arm platform i need to take the source and compile it. For your board, can
i download directly the binary and install it
http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/ ?
On your email archives, i saw that you plan to produce a quadcore version,
it's already in your plan ? Do you know when ?
How i can access to analog output audio (jack ...)

regards,

modjo
