 Allwinner A10 / A13 / A20 SoCs are used in a number of popular low cost arm 
 development boards and arm mini computers. Currently Fedora ARM is supported 
 on these devices through a Remix [1]. Allwinner kernel support is progressing 
 rapidly upstream, and with this upstream kernel support it should be possible 
 to support Allwinner SoCs in the official Fedora ARM images, without the need 
 for a remix. 
 
 == Detailed description ==
 The linux-sunxi community is currently working hard to get Allwinner SoCs 
 supported in the upstream kernel. A big part of this should land in the 3.14 
 kernel. The plan is to support Allwinner SoCs in headless mode for now, and 
 carry patches for mmc, ahci and usb support for 1-2 kernel releases (until 
 they land upstream). 
 
 == Scope ==
 Supporting Allwinnner SoCs ootb will require kernel and u-boot support.

 support is landing upstream and we will add patches to the Fedora kernel for 
 1-2 kernel releases to supplement this. u-boot support currently lives in a u-
 boot fork upstream, this fork is tracking / merging u-boot upstream and does 
 intent to get sunxi support merged into the official u-boot packages, but 
 there 
 is no timeline for this atm. For u-boot we will create a separate 
 u-boot-sunxi 
 package, which can be dropped once u-boot support has been merged into u-boot 
 upstream.
 
 Proposal owners: Will try to get as much kernel support upstream as possible, 
 supplement with patches in the Fedora kernel package. Will create a u-boot-
 sunxi package with sunxi specific u-boot. Will look into adding a config tool 
 to 
 the sdcard images to easily select and install the correct u-boot and dtb, 
 like the Allwinner Remix images have.

I have one tablet , I see now  that seems to be CORTEX A9 Dual Core ,
also an popular low cost arm,  but supposed that is an Allwinner sunxi.
I'd like to know , how I a boot there, if I can have dual boot to keep
android flavor etc, where I can get this kind of documentation ?
regarding install on it, Fedora arm .

Thanks,

 Does the u-boot piece require a new package or sub package of existing u-boot
 we already have? Just curious.

It's in the scope: For u-boot we will create a separate u-boot-sunxi package,
which can be dropped once u-boot support has been merged into u-boot upstream.

Jaroslav

 Suppose I'm asking if the sunxi support is upstream in denx?
 
 Looking forward to this feature. :-D
 
 Thanks
