hi zap, minor correction: the EOMA68 *standard* will *not* require (or undergo) revision in order to support any given processor.

sunxi cedrus now supports this processor.
ah that's good.
I would be estatic to see that happen. A64 is a good processor because it is 64 bit, and 32 bit has less people interested in it more and more as time passes...
What do you think Luke? Especially given the whole bootlin/cedrus support.
if there's a better option that goes over 2GB RAM, i'd like to use it instead.
Seems the Video Engine is available now. Let me know what you think of this as a possible Rev2 of eoma68 the standard.
again, to make absolutely clear: EOMA68 does not and *will* not undergo *any* revision to support any specific given processor.
you *may* be referring to the funding and production of a card that is *COMPLIANT* with the EOMA68 specification, that happens to be manufactured in a sequence that may be numbered "2nd", where the EOMA68-A20 could conceivably be numbered "1st".
ps, I am mainly interested in this because of the possibility of wine-staging on it. But yeah, even better it has no issues of meltdown/spectre. :)
yeah appreciated.
i happened to encounter the RK3308 (i think it was that one) which is also a Cortex A53, and the RK3326 which can address up to 4GB: https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/07/23/rockchip-rk3308-rk3326-datasheet/
the only down-side of the RK3326: only one USB port, it will require an on-board USB Hub IC to support 2x USB2 for full EOMA68 compliance.
