That's why it's called a "board". Pandaboard is interesting in the sense that it has the current Omap4, and thus usable for prototyping OS/software for an Omap4 phone..

So what are your plans for the board?
Having a go to recompile MeeGo/Mer to it?
Or how about something more mature like Moblin/ChromeOS/JoliOS/UNR?
Do you plan on using Gingerbread for anything?
Or a home diy robot with lazurs!

I have added a heatsink to the OMAP4 as it over heats pretty bad... Design flaw maybe...
I have a Pandaboard too. I never tested the heat it produces but a heatsink can't be bad.

... eBay!
Just basic VGA heatsinks..
I used to use these in my old xbox360 repairs.
Gold ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Copper-DD...item231061884d
Some freaking sweet ones!!!! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Zalman-ZM...item51984de17c
Your PandaBoard, how is it on your tv?
I can't get a proper image... Tv overscan I think... Terrible...
@Kangal: No plans.
Just mucking about. I got my beagle board back, too! Family I back together! Beagle, panda & n900!
I've been compiling a kernel and uboot for a while. Having some troubs with the configs.. Not working for me.
I got the ubuntu kernel (from GIT) to compile but thats the only kernel which worked...

On a TV wich supports 720p HD the displayed area was a little bit bigger than the screen. But I think this was a failure of the TV because when I connect a pc or notebook over VGA to it I got the same scary results.
I will try it on a newer Phillips FullHD 1080p TV in a few days and post my experiences.

I remember reading someplace that the pandaboard was full of software bugs, so I figured on staying with the beagleboard for this sort of thing unless I needed the pandaboard's fancier capabilities.

They are the same heatsinks as mine..
Now... Software bugs? Where did you hear that?
There is virtually no software on the board.
It's all user compiled (I want to build all my own software from GITs).
Routine:
X-loader -> Uboot -> uImage. That's it.
Any bugs are in either of those 3 pieces or software.
Panda seems ok. Just so much more support for beagle.. But slot of the issues can be solved using beagle ideas/support.
