Note: The latter thing counts as "successful" build. WTF?). I have the device here in my hand (I tested it using u-boot only - works fine). I'm now setting up my own build server and trying to get the flash image that way - which is ridiculous. Also, be aware that the Allwinner A20 is really really slow. There are ARM computers worth using as a normal PC, but this one isn't. I tried. (For example the Allwinner R40 is quite okay to use as a PC - see Sinovoip Banana Pi M2 Ultra) I like the concept of easily upgradeable computers, though!
