What can we expect from this cpu? There is no gpu, you cannot get a board which has a display port?
yeh bizarre, isn't it? they basically expect you to use its external bus to connect a (expensive) FPGA to, do the conversion to something-or-other, and to connect an HDMI interface or RGB/TTL interface etc. etc. yourself, implementing the display logic in a hybrid of software-plus-FPGA.
or do connect a standard graphics card via PCIe.
each of which is an awful lot of work / money.
now, if *they* created a dev-kit which had that already *done*.... then... great!
