Hi All,

I am happy to announce that I was able to boot Tizen on existing on the market Android tablet with Allwinner processor. I bought Serioux Surya 7 Antares SMO9VDC which comes with Allwinner A20 processor and I booted Tizen-sunxi image from a microSD card. A video is available at YouTube:

Please note that this is just a proof of concept video. A lot of things are not working. I will prepare Tizen 3 Common images for A20 and I will try to make more things on this device to work with it.

I had to hack the tablet and to retrieve information about the boot configuration using reverse engineering. A script.bin must be obtained from the Android stock image. After that it can be converted to fex file and read using text editor. Guidelines for the "hacking" process are available here:

Similar approach can be applied for booting Tizen or any other device with Allwinner processors such as A10, A10S, A13, A20, A23, A31, etc.

I do not think it is appropriate to include too much technical information at the general mailing list. In the coming days I will provide more information at the README file of Tizen-sunxi at GitHub. In the mean time please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Leon
