So long as you can work with the limitations that I am working with a 7 inch
allwinner tablet and might need a bit more to go on on how to set things up
correctly I would be willing to give you a hand. I do have one of my tablets
now set up with an serial console off of the normal A8 and A9 (PB22/23) instead
of the uSD, though at the moment I don't have touch screen support for it since
the cable ripped (my fault on that one), though I may be able to replace that
in the next couple days if all goes well, if not I will still get a mobo with
an A13 on it out of the deal. It will likely be Monday before I will have a
bit of time to give it a go though in case someone else can get to it faster.
