Chumby FAQ

• Can Chumby Do Video? And the appropriate answer is "No, but it may in the future. As of right now, Chumby is too slow for video, but a driver could be written to use its specialized MPEG hardware to help it decode video.

• This Chumby thing sounds great, how do I get one?

You will never, ever be able to get one.

• My touch screen stopped working, how can I fix it?

Open up the chumby, short the trace on the front underneath the shielding directly below the serial debug port, it is labeled 'short to gnd recovery mode' to ground, then power up and it goes into a reset mode (if you do this, please improve this FAQ entry)

• Can Chumby do VOIP?

As it ships, No, Chumby cannot do Voice over IP. However, it may be possible to add software to support VoIP, but it would likely be beyond the capabilities of the unit as it ships. Chumby is designed to run Flash Widgets, not other software packages.
