_maybe_. that's down to allwinner. if they can get me the DDR initialisation code that they linked into u-boot and so are required to provide it, then i'll try a rush-job creating an A64 card. but it'll be tough.
I'm sure it'll happen eventually. With the recent bad publicity around their kernel code, perhaps they'll see the benefits of cooperating a bit more with other people.
interesting - what happened? been too busy - any links?
the jz4775 one i just haven't had time to investigate, i'll try to get to it, but we haven't even an OS for that one yet. the leemote OS is old but would be a proof-of-concept if nothing else
I guess this is with regard to FSF certification and whether you could offer the jz4775 within a RYF-branded campaign. And I guess that Debian is still out of the picture, which I think is the distro of choice for the MIPS Creator CI20 and CI40, those being perhaps the closest products to what you'd be offering.
a modern kernel would be needed, the one i'm starting with is 3.0.8 (because that's what ingenic have that works) - any dependencies on udev tied to later versions and it's game over for a recent OS without a lot of extra work.
Of course, offering no bundled operating system would also be an option.
true.,, not ideal
