It's not currently supported, and apparently documentation for the SoC isn't available (the "support" tab on the WonderMedia site isn't selectable, never a good sign). Boards that are comparable in price and processing power that are supported by FreeSBD to varying degrees include the BeagleBone, the Wandboard, and to a lesser degree, the Cubieboard (which has sketchy documentation, but a good bit of reverse engineering has been done to support it). -- Ian
