Is an Allwinner A64 SoC. The linux-sunxi community is almost done with a open boot0/1 replacement:

oh good! with - once again - absolutely zero assistance from allwinner, no doubt. jaezuss when are allwinner going to get it that this is destroying their reputation

yeahhh, i know.... that's why i went with the RK3288 as it goes up to 4GB. it's also a faster SoC than the A64. EOMA68-RK3288 PCB arrived yesterday: http://rhombus-tech.net/rock_chips/rk3288/news/
