Nowadays, you should just use a mainline linux kernel (with DT) rather than the old Allwinner kernel (with FEX). Of course, that just shifts the problem to "someone works out the darn DT file", but at least it's much better supported
Full hardware support still is not complete. Also I simply do not have the time to redo months of work.
Any time I spend now basically means I get zero money from NLNet as the donations from them are based on *milestone* completion, *not* on "time spent".
4 weeks on OS rework equals ZERO PAYMENT from NLNet for that entire time.
(and there's even an upcoming patch for that
vanilla kernel which can finally lift the write speed limit on SATA from 50MB/s to 150MB/s or so).
Reason why 3.4.104+ has to be shipped was explained 18 or so months ago.
Entire OSes need to be redone otherwise.
