[MinnowBoard] Ask informations MinnowBoard max

[Bruce, Henry]

I recommend Ubuntu 14.10 (x64) as its kernel includes GPIO and Baytrail PWM drivers.

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
