I'm not trying to criticize your design, but you got me intrigued. Again, if you want a usable mainline kernel on A64 (let alone usable in Android), then it may take a while. I guess, Olimex and Xunlong probably have their A64 based boards ready by now, but are simply waiting for better software support before flooding the market with their hardware. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
