No HDMI cable Any way to use the VNC or similar to run Ubuntu?

Hello,
At the risk of demonstrating my grade of NOOBE, I have a question, that if possible may serve others. I have no HDMI cable nor monitor nor keyboard, just a laptop. Is there any way I can run UDOO Neo with a terminal emulator?

I managed to get the board up and running in just a few hours - most of the time taken to download the software here in Venezuela. Thanks for the super on-line instuctions! Components such as special cables are impossible to find locally. Any suggestions on how I can work in Ubuntu GUI rather than the terminal provided by VNC? I want to start exploring the available sensors.

Thanks,

Bruno

 

Hi there,
if you have a laptop and a Micro USB to USB cable you can actually connect via VNC. Don't you have such a cable?
Cheers

 

I use VNC viewer on smart devices and chrome. I'm old school and prefer a good old fashion VGA connector. Hate using HDMI on the living room tv. lol

 

Neo also supports VGA!

 

Thanks Andrea I have a VNC connection. I was just wondering if I could start Ubuntu? my options on the VNC screen are Arduino, terminal, and keyboard.

 

That are the default icons on the udoo Ubuntu desktop.
