Upstream linux kernel support is not what this talk is about, and the talk should very broadly cover many aspects of the linux-sunxi project. If you wanted an upstream linux kernel talk for sunxi, you should've filed a separate talk. I think this subject is so broad, that all (kernel) directions should and could be talked about. 3.4 is interesting, 3.10 is interesting, mainline is interesting. 3.0 btw is not, but even talking a little about 3.3 is important to the crowd to know what's out there (and what to avoid). This is about new people that don't know what's going on here, all information is good :) oliver Luc Verhaegen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups linux-sunxi group.

Being able to point people towards a few good cheap boards they can get Linux up and running on quickly and easily would help too. Too many (to my mind) of the postings on the debian-arm list are about bodging debian onto ancient arm5 devices. I think you should put up a slide or two comparing the AW SoCs with other low-cost, high-integration ARM SoCs out there, like Rockchip, Broadcom, AMLogic, and maybe Freescale. Include things like HW features, current level of FOS support (or lack thereof) for IP blocks, level of kernel support (or lack thereof) from the manufacturer, status of reverse-engineered blocks, etc. Also include a high-end SoC like Tegra or OMAP as a reference. Rhombus Tech has some useful information comparing different SoCs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups linux-sunxi group.

Oh wow, that's old stuff ;) Hopefully once mailman is running normally, we can get more debian devs involved!
