My affair with Allwinner SOCs started when I saw this article online http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/04/04/mele-a2000-android-2-3-media-player-powered-by-allwinner-a10/ and noticed the chatter on the XBMC forums. I'd given up waiting for my invite to purchase a Raspberry PI and headed to Tom's Cubie Hacker shop. A month later I had my A2000. After the initial excitement the unit ended up gathering dust behind my TV. I'd learnt to live with my noisey HTPC setup and as an OpenElec user, I realised that there would be alot of effort required. I tinkered when I could and kept an eye on the scene.

SUNXI hardware that I have

Mele A2000 - main development machine with serial debugging attached. I only target SDcards and have the following setups.


 * community uboot with stage/sunxi-3.4 build and builds based on that branch with my current undelivered patches. Operating system is Debian which includes XBMC which I built using the instructions here


 * Hans' uboot with sunxi-devel and the same branch with my audio mainlining attempts. The Operating system on this card the same as above and also OpenWRT.


 * OpenWRT - only a few changes are required to the build system to get this building for the Mele. Wireless modules not loading yet.

MK802 - Currently attached to a Motorola LapDock and in the process of adding serial debug cabling.


 * Currently using Hans' Fedora 19 build with this. Works extremely well considering the hardware.

Ippo Q8H - Recently bought tablet, feels cheap but works very well. Cables soldered on to the suspected serial points but currently no chatter is coming from them.

MK808C - A20 hardware that comes in the MK808B casing and packaging. To identify that it's a MK808C there is a small sticker on the side of the packaging which I didn't see until after firing off an email to the seller. Have delivered the necessary changes to get this working with the 3.4 kernel. Currently using Fedora 20 but haven't worked out how to get the wireless module added yet.

Success Stories

I've worked my way through a lot of the instructions on the wiki pages and here is a list of what I've succeeded with.
