Any SOC dev board or cell phone based on Allwinner A13, A20 or similar
Added by pang zhang about 10 years ago
There are dev boards like olinuxino or cubieboard based on these chips. These chips have a Mali graphics card, which apparently work with the lima driver. There are also cell phones with these chips:

We are going to start the effort to have Replicant working on Allwinner devices. My targets are:
- Q88 (A13)
- Ampe A76 (A13)
- AM-975 unbranded tablet (A10)
- ZaTab (A10)
- ICOO ICOU Fatty 1 (A20)

Did any of these show any promise? I agree with you that we should be on a constant search for fully free devices. I've been looking at the cubieboard recently, which you mentioned in the slides of one of your talks I was looking at. Apparently the cubieboard 2 or the cubietruck is extremely similar to the EOMA68 and even runs the same ROMs as far as I know. I'm in email contact with someone at cubietech in Shenzen and they said they might be interested in donating a few devices to us if we think they might be useful to our project. Cubieboard 6 is about to drop with Android 5.1.1 http://www.cubietech.com/product-detail/cubieboard6/ but the Allwinner H8 isn't supported by linux-sunxi. https://linux-sunxi.org/Allwinner_SoC_Family#.22H.22-Series We want potential Allwinner devices to be supported by linux-sunxi, right? Some of the deeper tech stuff is a little bit over my head, but I'm trying to learn. In any case, have you looked at the cubietech boards that are currently available? http://www.cubietech.com/product-showcase/board/ They said they are no longer support the kernel in cubieboard 4 and 5. Does this one look good? http://www.cubietech.com/product-detail/cubieaio-a20-board/ I hope this message finds you well.
