[Arm-netbook] ARM HDA Advice?

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

You might want to peek at Amahi (www.amahi.org).
There is a ubuntu version released today. This one also supports ARMv7. It
is only tested on TI Pandaboard (OMAP4), but I am planning to install it on
my Mele A2000 too.
It is based upon ubuntu 12.04
If you are interested in doing the same I am more than happy to assist (I
am the ubuntu dev lead for amahi).
