Well, it was the same a couple of years ago for Allwinner, so I don't know why discouraging people to try to mainline the Amlogic SoCs. Amlogic SDK is a pain in the ass, but at least Amlogic is _extremely_ responsive (not at all like Allwinner, at the beginning at least) and usually the engineers are willing to provide datasheets and information (they wrote a datasheet from scratch just for me when I asked for some more info on clock trees). -- Carlo Caione -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
