This page needs to be properly filled according to the New Device Howto and the New Device Page guide.

If a device is special, then feel free to provide a terse description of what makes this device so special. But terse, no novels, no marketing blurb.

The A80 Pcduino8 Board is the first commercially available board for the Allwinner A80 SoC. For most parts the Pcduino8 board is identical to the Merrii A80 Optimus Board, however this one has NAND IC instead of EMMC.

Identification

The board has a clearly recognizable Pcduino beta label on it, and its white, a common PCB overlay color for all Pcduino products.

  • Model Number: UltraOcta A80 OptimusBoard (Its not a mistake. It actually reports a different board as the model)
  • Build Number: KOT49H
