Right now the exynos port targets a documented platform (5250) but is out of date. The xu4 is an undocumented platform (5422) that samsung refused to release documentation for (at least for me). Perhaps that's changed. I have one and have done some work on it, but that was years ago before samsung refused docs. Brandon
