I ordered a devboard based on A31S (not A31) for 44USD, still waiting for it: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/quad-core-Allwinner-A31s-PCBA-board-1G-DDRIII-8G-NAND-FLASH-support-wifi-video-recording-playback/1989262018.html I think A31S is a stripped down version of A31 (probably some parts of the SOC are not activated/present).

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
