sunxi represents the family of ARM SoCs made by Allwinner Tech. in Zhuhai (Guangdong, China). The most known sunxi SoC model is the Allwinner A10 ( aka sun4i ) and now it's younger brother the Allwinner A13 ( aka sun5i ), both been Cortex-A8 1GHz with Mali400 and CedarX VPU. Their predecesor was an ARM9 called Boxchip F20 ( sun3i ) and their successor with not yet disclosed specs sun6i.

This wiki is dedicated to all software and documentation related to hacking sunxi based devices and to the devices themselves and is maintained by the arm-netbook community.
