If you want to wait for mainline.... Otherwise, the support is there now if you apply the patch to your own kernel. 'dma: sun4i: Add support for the DMA engine on sun[457]i SoCs' (https://github.com/codekipper/linux-sunxi/commit/93f01abff5d7745e5ca58beb279209bd04cc4a36) soundcheck wrote: > > Mali support is unlikely to happen as it says over there. > Eh, where does video come into this I thought we were talking about audio? What do you actually want? Accelerated X? Mali is ARM IP. Never going to be open sourced AFAIK. Binary support available. Have you heard of 'LIMA' (http://limadriver.org/)? Or you want hardware video decode, what AllWinner call 'CedarX' (http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX)? Heard of 'Cedrus' (http://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus), the reverse engineered project? (If you have any concerns about the licensing of CedarX and whether it is GPL violating.) Don't use it myself, but I know a chap who does. soundcheck wrote: > > The longer t takes, the more we approach EOL, the less probable we'll > see support. > The A20 already is EOL, IMHO. That's why all the "cheap" fruit clones are moving to the H3 SoC. soundcheck wrote: > > Is there any other board out there with similar features/specs (2GB RAM, > GB ethernet, Sata), > but better SW/kernel/firmware support ?
