</div>Hi Tom, please help me get wording right. do you mean we should:<br>
1) forget about A13 until Allwinner releases their code, or<br>
2) use the available sun5i code until Allwinner releases their code, or<br>
3) forget about the locked code, and focus in improving what we already<br>
have?<br></blockquote><div>I am just worried if you sign the NDA, you can not do any open source development</div><div>on A10, A13. What we have now is a basic A13 kernel, I don't know if anyone tried</div><div>this kernel on A13 hardware, but i believe it works, just some drivers are missing.</div>
<div>Most drivers of A13 and A10 are the same. Besides allwinner will probably release the</div><div>source code of A13 in the future. So i think there is no need to sign a NDA.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
