Cubieboard is a single-board computer, based on the AllWinner + A10 SoC, popular on cheap tablets, phones and media PCs. The + second version enhances the board mainly by replacing the + AllWinner A10 SoC with an AllWinner A20 which contains 2 ARM + Cortex-A7 MPCore CPUs and 2 Mali-400 GPUs (Mali-400MP2). In the + last few months, the work has continued on their &os; port, and + some work was done on the EMAC 10/100 Ethernet driver (see + link). The driver now is in a good shape, however the RX side + is very slow and there is need to have external DMA driver that + can be used in this case.

Rockchip is a series of SoC (System on Chip) integrated + circuits that are mainly for embedded systems applications in + mobile entertainment devices such smartphones, tablets, e-books, + set-top boxes, media players, personal video, and MP3 players. + Due to their evolution from the MP3/MP4 player market most + Rockchip ICs feature advanced media decoding logic but lack + integrated cellular radio basebands. Initial support of + Rockchip RK3188 (Quad core Cortex A9) SoC is committed to + head. Now &os; runs on Radxa Rock and it supports + following peripherals:

Existing DWC OTG driver in host mode

Some work was also done the on initial support of Qualcomm + Snapdragon S4 SoC, featuring the Krait CPU, which is considered + a "platform" for use in smartphones, tablets, and smartbook + devices. Krait has many similarities with the ARM Cortex-A15 + CPU and is also based on the ARMv7 instruction set. A minimal + console driver was written and &os;'s early boot messages can be + now seen on the serial console. The timer driver works too, and + the boot now stops at the mountroot prompt.
