Link: https://www.miniand.com/products/Hackberry%20A10%20Developer%20Board I'm not an ARM expert, but this looks interesting to me. What do you think? Well it is cheaper than my i.MX53 was, and at least the 1GB version matches the ram. Both are Cortex-A8 at about the same clock speed. The lack of SATA is a major minus in my book. That's a shame since the CPU supports it, but they seem to have chosen not to provide a connector for it. The mali 400 video is nice though. So looks nice other than no good way to attach fast storage. It does also seem to be lacking a serial console port. Interesting. I wonder how that works. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

448. 64MB seems to be reserved by the GPU, and we haven't found a way to
turn it off yet.
Also for some people --- including me --- the kernel is horribly
unstable. No idea why. It may be related to various batches of the
hardware, so you may get lucky. (If however, you don't get lucky, and
you happen to know about kernel development, we'd *love* some expert
help on this...)

i thought amery had found a solution to that? i'm sure it's
documented on the rhombus-tech.net wiki, on the server page, or
there's a kernel compile-time switch for de-reserving the stupid,
stupid hard-coded mali memory allocation.
AFAIK it's only possible to disable the reserved areas below 448MB for
the video decode engine, 2D engine, etc. My patch is now in the kernel
to do this automatically if you build for a headless system. But the
64MB GPU area seems to be inviolable.
You'll need to talk the amery or hno for more info, though; I don't know
anything about the GPU.
