Luke,
Can you reconsider the MIPS32 and Ingenic? The Creator C120 and C140 from Imagination use a very similar chip
- the video chip has some non-free drivers but there are alos Libre drivers, I believe.
i am NOT going to be using PowerVR. imgtec have caused countless problems for over 15 years. every company that's ever distributed a PowerVR GPU inside their processor has regretted it.
i do have the EOMA68-jz4775 board available - i just haven't had time to investigate the boot process.
https://imgtec.com/contact-us/ should have contact details.
if they provide full source code for all PowerVR GPU drivers, i'll look at the C120 and C140.
It is certainly feasible to install Debian on this: no other distribution is supporting this chipset any more,
i know. it's one of the reasons why we didn't pursue the EOMA68-jz4775 for this campaign: too much work involved.
