You mean something like http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort ? You should really do a bit of research before starting a thread like this one. This webpage has been around for like 9 monthes now on the wiki of a community you pretend to represent (even though I fail to get how you can pretend such thing, but that's another topic). > > is the maintainer of the mainline Allwinner sunxi > > effort.

A10, A13 for the moment. I just received hardware with A10s, A20 and A31 that I need to work on, but support should come quite soon. I already have some patches pending to be tested on an A31 board, but didn't have as much time as I wanted lately to actually set a proper environment to test them.
