Hello, My name is Alexey, and I'm interested in having ARM CubieTruck hardware well supported by Debian for desktop (KDE) use.
CubieTruck is an ARM mini-PC aka "Liliputer", based on AllWinner A20 SoC + 2 GB RAM + 8 GB flash + VGA (!) port + SATA + Ethernet + WiFi, making it good enough for a real Debian desktop. CubieTruck http://cubietruck.com/collections/frontpage/products/cubietruck-cubieboard3-cortex-a7-dual-core-2gb-ram-8gb-flash-with-wifi-bt My goal: It should have a working 2D, HD Video and 3D graphics as well as audio and networking. (for my purposes even closed-source drivers are "OK"). Some open-source drivers exist: *2D - xf86-video-fbturbo - link: https://github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-fbturbo *Hardware Video Decoder - "CedarX" link: http://linux-sunxi.org/Reverse_Engineering/Cedar_Status (should play H.264 and WebM/VP8 Full HD 1080p video) *3D - open-source Lima or closed-source Mali drivers. WiFi + Bluetooth - status unknown. (WiFi firmware is probably closed source) If you can - please help stabilize those experimental drivers, improve them, test and integrate them into upcoming Debian 8.0. I will donate few ARM CubieTruck samples to interested people. You'll need a proof of past patches to any open-source project or community involvement. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov", Debian user.
