My affair with Allwinner SOCs started when I saw this article online http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/04/04/mele-a2000-android-2-3-media-player-powered-by-allwinner-a10/ and noticed the chatter on the XBMC forums. I'd given up waiting for my invite to purchase a Raspberry PI and headed to Tom's Cubie Hacker shop. A month later I had my A2000.
After the initial excitement the unit ended up gathering dust behind my TV. I'd learnt to live with my noisey HTPC setup and as an OpenElec user, I realised that there would be alot of effort required. I tinkered when I could and kept an eye on the scene.
'''SUNXI hardware that I have'''
[http://sunxi.org/Mele_A1000 Mele A2000] - main development machine with serial debugging attached. I only target SDcards and have the following setups.
* community uboot with stage/sunxi-3.4 build and builds based on that branch with my current undelivered patches. Operating system is Debian which includes XBMC which I built using the instructions [http://linux-sunxi.org/XBMC#Cross_Compile_of_XBMC here]
* Hans' uboot with sunxi-devel and the same branch with my audio mainlining attempts. The Operating system on this card the same as above and also OpenWRT.
[http://linux-sunxi.org/MK802 MK802] - Currently attached to a Motorola LapDock and in the process of adding serial debug cabling.
* Currently using Hans' Fedora 19 build with this. Works extremely well considering the hardware.
[http://linux-sunxi.org/Ippo_q8h Ippo Q8H] - Recently bought tablet, feels cheap but works very well. Will get round to soldering serial debug to this.
[http://linux-sunxi.org/MK808C MK808C] - A20 hardware that comes in the MK808B casing and packaging. To identify that it's a MK808C there is a small sticker on the side of the packaging which I didn't see until after firing off an email to the seller. Working on this is my highest priority.
'''Success Stories'''
I've worked my way through a lot of the instructions on the wiki pages and here is a list of what I've succeeded with.
