Is there a press kit?
I want to translate the press release, and send it to some Spanish websites if they want to publish it.
I searched it on Rhombus-Tech and I have not found anything.

press kit? that's a bit posh, isn't it? :)

hmm, ok - let's start a page http://rhombus-tech.net/crowdsupply/press_release/ and put something together from various other sources, anyone want to give it a shot?

Well, I think it's important. First, because you can explain what is important in your project (for example, someone can write that EOMA-68 is a laptop with Allwinner A20, and not explain the EOMA-68 standard and its future). Second, because you increase your presence in the media.

I will wait to see if anyone can do it. My English is not perfect (as you can see in my emails) and I can make stupid mistakes that would not be good to send to media.
I would have no problem translating it into Spanish.

ok i've got time.
Luke,
Can you reconsider the MIPS32 and Ingenic? The Creator C120 and C140 from Imagination use a very similar chip - the video chip has some non-free drivers but there are alos Libre drivers, I believe.
https://imgtec.com/contact-us/ should have contact details.
It is certainly feasible to install Debian on this: no other distribution is supporting this chipset any more, I believe, though I could be wrong about OpenWRT supporting some models of MIPS chips embedded in routers etc.
[No connection or endersement of Imagination here other than as a satisfied Kickstarter customer for the C120 and awaiting the C140 arrival as a Kickstarter backer - due any day now]
All the very best,
AndyC

i am NOT going to be using PowerVR. imgtec have caused countless problems for over 15 years. every company that's ever distributed a PowerVR GPU inside their processor has regretted it.
i do have the EOMA68-jz4775 board available - i just haven't had time to investigate the boot process.
https://imgtec.com/contact-us/ should have contact details.
if they provide full source code for all PowerVR GPU drivers, i'll look at the C120 and C140.

i know. it's one of the reasons why we didn't pursue the EOMA68-jz4775 for this campaign: too much work involved.

If all goes well (I hope), what SoC could be a good successor of the EOMA-68 A20?
I saw your post in crowdsupply and no other processor seems to be a good successor. Perhaps Allwinner A64 and Snapdragon 410c, but have some red flags. Can this be a problem to have a successor of the EOMA-68 A20?

don't know yet! will there be more than one in the next 10 years of the lifetime of EOMA68? yes, certainly.

i'm investigating something: i can't tell you what the current plan is, it's confidential - i'll have some more news in about 2-3 weeks.
