I'm finally ready to announce A Big Conquest: adding graphics to a headless Linux part!

While the BBB, Odroid C1 and Raspberry Pi support was great to add and taught me a lot, getting VGATonic working on headless parts was a higher priority goal for me from the beginning. It just so happens that the Intel Edison was the first headless part I finished - and the results look great.

I got clean DMA 25 MHz SPI from the Edison (complete writeup is in a new project which you can find here. Let me know if you reproduce it!). And, of course, it's tradition to pick an id Software game to run as proof your video project is working... so here's a video showing it running Quake at over 40 frames per second (and other software as well, haha - 2:11 it begins):

I will attempt to do the PogoPlugs as well, but probably after the August 17th deadline.
