Storage and boot devices
Implementations
Many manufacturers have adopted the Allwinner A1X for use in devices running the
- PengPod,[7] Linux-based 7 and 10-inch tablets.
- Gooseberry, a board based on the A10 SoC similar to the Raspberry Pi.
- Cubieboard, a board based the A10 SoC.
- Tinkerforge RED Brick, a board based on the A10s SoC [8]
- CHIP (computer), a $9 SoC computer based on the A13
Operating System support
Linux support
The Allwinner A1X architecture is referred to as 'sunxi' in the Linux kernel source tree. The source code is available at GitHub.[9] At the moment, stable and full hardware support is limited to 3.0.x and 3.4.x kernels. Recent mainline versions of the kernel run, but do not offer NAND access and have only limited 3D-acceleration.[10]
FreeBSD support
There is a work in progress on support Efika on FreeBSD. At the moment, not all on-board peripherals are working.[11][when?]
OpenBSD support
As of May 2015,
NetBSD support
NetBSD contains support for the Allwinner A10.[13]
Documentation
No factory sourced programmers manual is publicly available for the A10S CPU at this moment.
Allwinner A-Series
Apart from the single-core A1x (A10/A13/A10s/A12), two new more powerful Cortex-A7 Allwinner SoCs have been released by Allwinner, the A10-pin-compatible dual-core
