Tom is no longer involved in Cubietech afaik.

In personally I prefer Olimex boards for development. A little bigger,
but all open and more I/O exposed. Plus a much wider range of boards
available depending on your needs.

If it can run ontop of Android MALI drivers then not much should be
missing.

The state for non-Android GNU/Linux MALI drivers is a bit of a mess
unfortunately. Getting this in production shape requires cooperation of
Allwinner and maybe ARM as well.

LIMA is doing good progress, but will likely take a while before it's
capable of running Plasma.
