There are currently nightly kernel and u-boot images being generated. 
Among those is one specifically configured to give all the RAM and run 
headless.

Documentation on how to use the nightly builds is here.

http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/nightly_build_images/

And the images are here:

(This would normally be latest, but their are no images today.)
