If anyone is interested, let's discuss it.

Micro SD issue
I cannot get MMC0 (external slot) working properly, neither in u-boot nor in linux. MMC2 is ok: u-boot uses it, properly initializes it, reads partitions etc., starts linux kernel. Linux kernel sees it and runs on it, etc.

With default sun5i-a13-olinuxino settings, external micro SD card inserted/ejection is properly detected, but initializing card does not work (nothing in u-boot, various errors in linux, depending on the inserted card). My hardware does not seem to be faulty since if I boot factory firmware, it is working properly. I tried tweaking various properties in device tree, but at best it does not change anything.

eInk driver
There is an EPDC kernel module in default firmware, but it seems it is closed source.

The device tree must be modified, from: to: Then:

network
enable staging driver eu8188eu in kernel menuconfig.

rtc
enabling driver "Haoyu Microelectronics HYM8563" does not seem to be enough to get /dev/rtc0. Oops... looks like it takes this one instead: "Philips PCF8563/Epson RTC8564". Device tree must also be modified from: to

Status
As of today 2018-07-30, I run a 4.18.0-rc6 kernel. I downloaded an Arch Linux image for A10. I boot my kernel, and use Arch Linux userland with my kernel modules. Kind of working. I have the problems mentioned above.
