Bringing up a beta board

Dom just sent me this video: he’s successfully brought up the beta board he’s working on, and things are looking great. He’s got a few demos going here, and alongside some other stuff, you’ll be able to see (hear) the Raspi’s sound working for what I think is the first time; on other occasions we haven’t been able to attach speakers for one reason and another.

See that red wire on the top of the board? I’ve got lots more to tell you about that tomorrow (don’t worry, it’s not bad news), and some video I took at the factory earlier today. More to come later on, so keep checking over the holidays.

    I know there is no *good* way to loop videos in OMXPlayer yet, but I've done a kind of hack job of it here:Code: while True:    subprocess.call('omxplayer -o hdmi Vids/Test.mov', shell=True)    subprocess.call('xrefresh -display :0', shell=True)What I'm wondering, is…
