      Wondering if the Guide (which I chipped $25 extra for) is ever going to be a reality? Product delays were somewhat understandable but a guide was a selling point for some of us and the reference manual- while nice- isn't what was suggested in the original pitch.

    2. Creator Paul Taylor on July 8

      My two are working like little bosses. :-) Excellent uptime, I've managed to build Debian wheezy with ZFS-FUSE support, so can use them as ballsy Raspberry Pis when I'm not playing compute. Interestingly they hate resetting without a power cycle, aside from hat awesome work team!

    3. Creator Maximiliam Luppe on June 25

      Just to note, I'm from Brazil and got mine today!!! So many things to do!!!

    4. Creator Tyler Weir on June 4

      Have other people in Canada received their boards? I have received nothing so far.

    5. Creator Gil on May 20

      Got my board today. Where can I download the book "An Introduction to Parallel Programming" that I pledged?

    6. Creator Murty Maganti on May 19

      Why is it so slow? Played a video in youtube (not HD) and it plays like a picture slide show. Scrolling in browser takes few seconds before the page is scrolled.

    7. Creator deadbeef on May 13

      Went to the customs today and got my Parallella as well. Thanks for finishing this project :)

    8. Creator Brendan Wholihan on May 13

      Paid UK customs £33 on 2nd May. Still waiting for DHL/Yodel to deliver package a few miles from LHR. 10 days, 5 phantom delivery attempts and still no package - why did you have to use DHL/Yodel... the worst company in the UK

    9. Creator GenkiMurayama on May 8

      Received mine today.
      You did it!! Thank you so much. Its so exciting.

    10. Creator Holger Trahe on May 8

      Mine is waiting at the customs, which complain not having invoice, so they refuse to hand it over, because of not being able to bill the VAT

    11. Creator David Harris on May 7

      Mine came through to Canada customs free.

    12. Creator Murty Maganti on May 7

      Yes, got the link from google.Quick question - can I connect the keyboard directly (with micro USB adapter) or do I have to connect through a USB hub?. Do i need active or passive hub if hub is required?

    13. Creator Adapteva on May 7

      @murty Too bad about customs. Most people in Canada seem to have gotten their package without the need to pay fees. Note that the guide you are reading is out of date, thanks for telling us, we will delete it from the archive to avoid confusion.Did you find it through google? Note that the link written on the box and on our website is parallella.org/quick-start

    14. Creator Murty Maganti on May 7

      Had to pay $25 customs here in Toronto. As per this document http://www.parallella.org/wp-content/uploads/ParallellaQuickStartGuide_rev3.pdf there should two heat sinks in the package one for zynq and one for ephiphany. But there is only one heat sink in the package i received. Can any one confirm how many should be in the package?

    15. Creator sgllama on May 6

      Paid the customs fee at the weekend, package has been passed from DHL GlobalMail into the care of Yodel in the UK - so might have it next week, fingers crossed.

    16. Creator Daniel Kiss on May 6

      #1580 - Boards are received in Europe.
      Packing is absolutely correct, board looks nice, lets power on :)

    17. Creator Adapteva on May 6

      @blais/@harris Thanks! Great to hear that Canada shipping worked out.

      @julien @gareth: Really sorry to hear about the DHL issues. The feedback so far seems to have been mixed, but clearly your experience are upsetting.

      @savage Great to hear that Parallella is circling the globe!

      @trick1..and everyone else Thanks for tellins us (and everyone) that the boards are starting to arrive!

    18. Creator Frederick Blais on May 6

      took 5 days to ship in Canada, no customs or duties. #5169
      the board looks really well made and is nice looking!

    19. Creator Julien on May 2

      @Gareth Nelson: my experience with DHL easily put them in the depth of the ocean way below standard mail shipping, last time they just dropped the package at some relay point without asking and there was someone home but they never even rang the bell...

    20. Creator Frederick Blais on May 1

      Backer #5169 just received a shipping notice!

    21. Creator Tim Savage on April 30

      Received mine today in Sydney Australia. Will have to wait till I get home to power it up.

    22. Creator David Harris on April 29

      Just now received mine in west coast Canada, wee! #2891 Board and accessory pack. No customs or duties paid :-) I haven;t powered it up, as yet.

    23. Creator Murty Maganti on April 29

      Did any one receive in Canada? If so, what customs duty fee is charged?

    24. Creator Gareth Nelson on April 29

      Just a quick note about DHL - they're currently threatening me with debt collectors for the import duty on my boards as they appear to charge you weeks later, got a letter this morning threatening me (despite never getting an original invoice).

      Be on the lookout people.

    25. Creator AJ ONeal on April 29

      I just got mine, but I don't have the time for another hobby project, so I've put her up for sale if any of you want another:

      BTW. DHL, to Australia, no issues.

    27. Creator Trick-1 on April 28

      Totally stoked! Well done to the folks at Adapteva.
      mini cloud arrived today backer ID#1917.

    30. Creator Iori Mizutani on April 24

      Backer #1811, I have received the box today!!! Thanks for all the efforts Adapteva! :-)

    31. Creator Daniel Kiss on April 24

      I have received the shipping notification too.
      #1580.

    32. Creator David Harris on April 23

      Hi!
      The parallella is shipping?
      I got no information - where can i get my backer number?
      Thanks
      Andreas

    38. Creator David Harris on April 22

      I just received shipping notice for #2891. I'm in Canada. My response to the survey was 11/4/2012. USPS doesn't show the tracking, yet. Pledge was one board and accessory kit.

    39. Creator Zachary on April 21

      Double checked, definitely backer #2810, thought they were going to be shipped out by backer#? Not that I'm personally complaining! Received the boards today. :) I will note that I didn't receive the tracking email until 2 days after USPS says the package was shipped, so maybe there's an issue with getting the tracking emails out. Also, on the out chance that it helps figure anything out, I pledged at the 2 board level and currently hang my hat in Pennsylvania.

    40. Creator Jay on April 21, 2014

      Both Oneill #1,580 and I #1,956 are on the Parallella Community Forum saying that we haven't got our shipping notification yet. I filled out my survey on 7th November 2012. I'm an international backer - not sure if that makes a difference.

    41. Creator Tom Potts on April 21, 2014

      @david - my response is there. I'm in the UK I dont know if that makes a difference...

    42. Creator Mark Cavanagh on April 20, 2014

      I'm backer 2385, and I got my shipping notice yesterday (4/19).

    43. Creator David Harris on April 20, 2014

      @Tom -- It should show at the bottom of your pledge group to the right of this page. And a link that says "Your response" If you have done, then I am not sure why Zachary at #2810 has an email, and you don't at a lower backer number. Perhaps Zachary made a typo? I am getting close. I expect we won't see any more action until after this long Easter weekend.

    44. Creator Tom Potts on April 20, 2014

      David - if that was oct 13 then yes.

    45. Creator Tom Potts on April 20, 2014

      When would that have been?

    46. Creator David Harris on April 20, 2014

      @Tom --- Did you fill out your survey?

    47. Creator Tom Potts on April 20, 2014

      I'm 2512 but not heard anything yet...

    48. Creator Bryant Bair on April 19, 2014

      @Zachary, gives me hope that I will receive mine before I move in 3 weeks and don't have an address for 30 days :) I'm 3762...

    49. Creator Zachary on April 18, 2014

      Shipping notice this morning, backer #2810

    50. Creator Roman Redkovich on April 16, 2014

      Received shipping notice today, #2013.
