Wow, brilliant!

And yes, I have noticed the total absence of Allwinner datasheets in any of the languages I speak, which doesn't include Chinese.

The zillion A10 and A13-based tablet manufacturers must have datasheets for the SoCs, surely?  If they are all just cloning Allwinner's reference board, that would be .... bizarre.

Heh, I saw that post of lkcl's when I first discovered the Allwinner and chased up the links.  Funny isn't it.  Although I've never read anything like that before about Chinese tech manufacturing, I can well believe it.

I wonder what ARM Holdings' view on it is.  I've never seen an ARM license, but ARM licensees are probably contractually obliged to not do anything that could be construed as harming the brand.  And in a small way, this does.

I rather doubt that ARM ever expected a licensee to treat documentation in such a cavalier manner because that's not done in the West, so it may well be that the ARM license says nothing at all about it.

Another variation on the theme:  http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/18/mk802-beats-cotton-candy-to-market/

Exec summary:  "MK802", $74, 1.5GHz Allwinner A10 CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB flash, HDMI, Android 4.0

any news on the porting over of DM Basic to this platform yet?

I plan on buying a few when it`s ported over

That would be fantastic! I have a Robot here, that would certainly benefit from having a 1 Million Bips front end

Excellent!  Thanks for the heads up.  I just mailed them an order request.  We live in good times for Linux SBC's
