</div><div class="im">&gt; (I&#39;m trying to think of a time when you&#39;d want both Balloon&#39;s FPGA<br>
&gt; resource, and a genuine framebuffered, pixel-painting display on a TV,<br>

The Balloon was a contender for the embedded processor, but you are<br>
right - that one would have to be careful not to let the graphics swamp<br>
things.<br>
<br>
As a &quot;might be relevant&quot; argument, the Begale board has an HDMI<br>
connector (which actually talks DVI). Whilst its not the hard use-case<br>
you asked for, if it meant a user not choosing Beagle over Balloon, that<br>
would presumably be some sort of win.<br>
