Other than the limited info on the Wiki page, what are the plans for PineCube information?
Detail:
Since the developer-edition PineCubes are apparently shipping (at least I have a tracking number), when will some dedicated information area be set up? So far I don't see any resources other than the short Wiki page. No Forum and no channels listed on any of the other chat groups (IRC, Discord, etc).
The cube is a very different device from the other Pine offerings, so some detailed information up front would be very helpful, especially for a device that is " aimed solely for development purpose only and not a ready-to-use end product".
If units are actually in shipping, it would be nice to have some useful centralized development info before they actually start showing up on doorsteps.
Currently, the wiki page only describes getting and building the BSP, a process that I'm still trying to get to work (not finding the arm cc1, which is there, but I haven't found the right place to fix the paths in the ... very ... convoluted Android build system. I'd really hoped there would be a pure-linux development path that didn't have to deal with an Android BSP, but I've learned to live with disappointment.
Looks like they have updated the Wiki page today. I've been wanting to get one of these but am a newbie to Linux, so I'm waiting to see comments from people once they get them set up. I Also am interested in seeing what kind of cases people come up with for it.
