There are quite of a few things to do and probably should have been done
before the campaign on Indiegogo.
1. The campaign on Indiegogo is a "Flexible campaign", which means that
even if you do not manage to reach the funding target, you get to keep the
money.
The standard Indiegogo campaign type ("Fixed") is to return the money if
you do not manage to reach the funding target.
If you go for the Flexible type, you need to build confidence that the
device is working and what you are promising can be delivered.
For example, you mention on the Indiegogo page that you ported the device
to Ubuntu. Here you can show the dmesg output (put it on pastebin.com),
run benchmarks or provide other relevant information.
You can also send a sample to websites like cnx-software.com so that they
can review it for you.
2. The position that Actions Semi is now, was probably what was with
Allwinner at around 2012 (that is, in early stages for a developer board)
There was a campaign on Indiegogo at
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cubieboard-open-arm-box#/story
But before that campaign, there was (independent) developer effort and
confidence.
You may want to contact Tom Cubie (from Cubieboard campaign) and ask for
advice.
3. Actions Semi is a new fabless company, so in order to gain the interest
of developers/users,
you need to do some things much better than what is available with existing
developer boards.
Finally, this Google group is about Allwinner SoCs and it does not look
nice to talk about different SoCs here.
There are generic technical Linux ARM mailing lists such as those at
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/lists.php
Hope this helps,
Simos
