Allwinner A10 & A20 boards

Overview

Both legacy and current kernels are stable and production ready and mostly sharing the same features through backports.

Note: Kernel 3.4.x has been dropped due to lacking upstream support which has ended in 2017.

Enabled audio devices: analog, 8 channel HDMI, spdif and I2S (if wired and enabled in HW configuration)
Bluetooth ready (working with supported external keys)
Enabled overlayfs (outdated)
I2C ready and tested with small 16×2 LCD. Basic i2c tools included.
SPI ready and tested with ILI9341 based 2.4″ TFT LCD display.
Drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
Clustering / stacking
Onboard LED attached to SD card activity (script.bin)
Docker ready
Enabled audio devices: analog, SPDIF (if available) & USB
USB / UAS – more efficient disk access over USB (A20 and H3)
CAN bus – Controller Area Network
USB OTG connector – OTG or host mode
Bluetooth ready (working with supported external keys)
I2C ready and tested with small 16×2 LCD. Basic i2c tools included.
Onboard LED attached to SD card activity (not enabled on all boards yet)

NAND install sometime fails. Workaround: install ~~Lubuntu to NAND~~ with ~~Phoenix tools~~ and run install again. (Links no longer available - 27/01/21 Werner)
Shutdown results into reboot under certain conditions.
SATA port multiplier support is disabled by default, can be enabled by adding kernel parameter ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1
Screen output from kernel is set to HDMI by default. Boot loader can detect and switch, kernel not.

Following commands (example) needs to be executed in u-boot command prompt:

setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=dvi,hpd=0,edid=0,overscan_x=1,overscan_y=2
saveenv

Since environment is reset after flashing u-boot, you need to do this after every u-boot upgrade or put this to u-boot script
