honestly that's something i'm going to have to leave for someone else to investigate / answer, i've been non-stop for about 6 days on the PCB layout, it's one of the trickiest i've ever done as the 4 DDR3x16 RAM ICs are all on the TOP layer, leaving an absolutely ridiculously small amount of space left for routing, and i'm having to make some rather creative decisions on where to place some of the discrete components.
it's extremely taxing, very intensive, so i'm trusting that other people will answer software-related questions.
Ok, thanks, and good luck!
The RK3288 seems very interesting if all the components if supported under GNU/Linux (at least with proprietary drivers).
On the other hand, have you calculated the approximate price of an EOMA68 based on RK3288?
not at all: i've literally gone straight from learning of the existence of the RK3288 to starting the PCB layout in under 24 hours. i'm working on the assumption that a higher-end processor, larger amount of RAM and larger amount of NAND (eMMC) will be desirable regardless of cost. the required RAM ICs to reach 4 GB RAM are going to be the $9 *PER RAM IC* variants. that's $36 just in RAM ICs - more than the entire BOM for the EOMA68-A20. 32gb eMMC is also going to be equally costly, and likewise the processor.
