Mele A200

Mele A200 is a cheap A10s Set-Top-Box. There is an early version without Ethernet, and later version with dual core A20. This page is written based on the A10s version device with an Ethernet.

= Identification = On the back of the device, the following is printed: MELE迈乐 型号(MODEL):A200

The PCB has the following silkscreened on it: AB10S-G41A-V1.40-0 WLBM:831-2454140-90 2012-11-06

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find: Please note, there are several version of A200, the information here is based on single core (A10s) version with LAN port.

Current status
sunxi-linux-3.4 works fine (as headless server).

Manual build

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

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

Mainline U-Boot
For generic upstream u-boot, follow the Google groups post here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/linux-sunxi/upstream$20uboot/linux-sunxi/z2kby8B38o8/rU2YUi55bTkJ

Here is instruction that works for Mele A200, after setting up cross compiler. Mele A200 has some difference from A10s-OlinuXino-M, will try to address it later (TODO). mmc works, HDMI works, USB keyboard works (storage seems work), network works.

For building mainline u-boot, use the  target.

Mainline kernel
Most of components are supported by mainline kernel. Use this Wip dts patch for preliminary device-tree file. The configuration file is for Debian Jessie.

Use the  device-tree file for the mainline kernel.

Although the forum post is about A10 Olimex-lime, it is tested works on A200, using sunxi-3.4 kernel and Debian Wheezy.
