Yes, I agree. Thank you for the clarification.

I am trying to prepare to build a mainline kernel on the development
board and/or my Eoma68-A20 card.
So far at rhombus-tech.net I found:
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/
and
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/nand_mainline_boot/

At linux-sunxi.org I found this Howto for mainline kernel:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_Kernel_Howto

Now can I simply run:
    
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig

    ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make zImage dtbs modules
	        
to get a mainline kernel usable with the A20 card?
Did I miss some important sources at rhombus-tech?

kind regards
Pablo
