Great. Now try to get the script.bin file from flash (while booted in
Android). It should be in the /dev/block/nanda device.

The Ethernet is built into the SoC, so there's not much to discover on
this front. The wifi is separate, so it can vary. To figure out which
you have, you can look for the info in "dmesg", or you can look at the
chips on the motherboard.

"dmesg" often includes that somewhere.

Usually you don't need any special kernel parameters: just use
a run-of-the-mill image for Allwinner. The only thing you need is to
script.fex/script.bin file (which you extracted above).

If you can point to specific parts of the NDH you don't understand, that
would help. Better yet, after you figured it out, you can fix the
NDH to make it more understandable.
