yeahhh, it's the lack of desktop support that's the main concern. i'd like to be able to say that it will be possible to fund the mainlining support but it isn't, right now.
also, as i mentioned earlier, the A20's running out of time. i'm going to have to ship with only an older toshipba 1MB or even just a 128kb NAND flash because it's getting harder and harder to find so-called "legacy" NAND flash ICs in TSSOP packaging that the A20's brain-dead boot ROM recognises.
so now you may gain some understanding why the RK3288 board is so important.
(a) it's got full mainline support (b) it's just as libre as the A20 Card (c) it has mass-volume support (d) it's had a chromebook and more made around it (e) it's been around long enough to have all the problems ironed out (f) the technical reference manuals are now online (g) it's possible to get Reference Designs for $USD 25.
that DOES NOT mean that the A20 board is not important: it is critical at this early phase.

Thanks for the insight now I have a good idea what is going on... I look forward to the RK3288.
I highly recommend you get the reference designs then. :)
though I am curious, this is also your email?
