I saw the recent crowd-funding campaign. Does the laptop support using an external display?
13:10
<
arossdotme >
tzafrir, i think that its the case that if you use a passthough card instead of a computer/cpu card you can use the laptop as an external display/keyboard/touchpad.
13:11
<
arossdotme >
or if using it as a standalone laptop with a cpu/computer card then it depends on if the computer card has a micro hdmi or not.
13:12
<
tzafrir >
Right now there's a single card, about which I ask
13:16
<
arossdotme >
so if using laptop with a normal cpu card and if the card has a micro hdmi on its edge then you have laptop display + external display
13:17
<
tzafrir >
pass-through is nice, but not what I meant. Right now there seems to be a single CPU card I can get.
13:17

lukes done work on others like a mips one
13:18
<
tzafrir >
So, does this card support an external display in addition to the laptop's screen?
13:18
<
arossdotme >
the progress on other cards are documented on the wiki pages for those cads
13:19
<
arossdotme >
the a20 card supports an externeal display via the micro hdmi connection the the edge of the card. as well as the laptops own display
13:19
<
tzafrir >
Currently I assume that no, as nowhere does it mention that it is uspported.
13:19
<
arossdotme >
oh right something to bug luke about :)

lkcl, ==^
13:20
<
arossdotme >
its what the cable set is for. you get a micro hdmi cable so you can use the a20 card on its own like a computer stick usb + hdmi
13:21
<
tzafrir >
Yeah. But does that also apply if the card is inside a laptop or a micro-desktop?
13:22
<
arossdotme >
yes you can also use the micro hdmi on the edge of the cpu card while its in the laptop :)
13:23
<
arossdotme >
or micro - desktop heck any device you plug it into you will be able to get to the micro hdmi and the usb otg connections
13:23
<
arossdotme >
micro - desktop = micro-desktop
13:23
<
arossdotme >
*get to and use
13:25
<
tzafrir >
OK. Thanks.

tzafrir: to answer your original question: the laptop housing doesn't support an external display, the
*EOMA68-A20* supports dual display(s).
