Semitime Qt840a

= Identification =

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find:


 * Model Number: SoftwinerEvb
 * Build Number: homelet_sugar 4.2.2 JDQ39 xxxxx test-keys

Variants?
This TV Box is also known to have been sold as the Q5 and some brandless boxes (with the same port layout / enclosure).

The qt840a uses an ap6330 wifi/bt module where as the q5, I12_TvBox and nonames use an ap6210 wifi.bt module

= Sunxi support =

Current status
What works:
 * Serial port
 * MMC
 * Ethernet (using the GMAC driver and in MII mode - needs patches)

What don't work (yet):
 * Wifi (Broadcom ap6330)
 * HDMI

Better results should be achieved by working through the full manual build howto.

Manual build

 * For building u-boot, use the "" target.
 * The .fex file can be found in sunxi-boards as MANUFACTURER_DEVICE.fex

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

= Tips, Tricks, Caveats =

FEL mode

Device disassembly
Only clips attach the top of the case to the rest of it. Insert your plastic tool along the top edge, and gently push the outside rim outwards, the clips should soon release.

Locating the UART
There are some clearly visible test pads next to the SoC. All you need to do is attach some wires according to our UART howto.

Pin-out:
 * TP1: UART0-TX
 * TP2: UART0-RX
