Drivers Allwinner A80

Allwinner surprised us nicely while we have been at Linux Con they sent us 10 samples of their super duper new A80 Octa core processor.

Firmware
  1. After Android 4.4 SDK for AllWinner A31 last week, another AllWinner software development kit has been seen in the wild, this time for the new AllWinner A80 octa-core processor. A80 SDK includes source code for the Linux Kernel and U-boot, as well as buildroot, and various AllWinner tools.
  2. Sunxi AllWinner Touch Screen Drivers This is a gslx680 driver for the sunxi AllWinner platform. It is pin-compatible with Allwinner's dual-core A23 processor. 3, 2014 Q88 AllWinner A23 With Bluetooth.

I hate when Marketing in some companies start mixing dreams with realities and announce chips while they even are not in the pipeline 🙂

Allwinner announced this chip in February, then promised samples to be shipped in May, June, August, September, well they finally sent 10 in October 🙂

The reason we still do not see mass production of devices with A80 can be guess after reading CNX-Software blog . The firmware performance is still far away from stable and exploiting all features this chip can offer.

This firmware is for Rikomagic MK80 TV Box powered by Allwinner A80 processor. Download latest Android KitKat 4.4.2 stock firmware for Rikomagic MK80 TV Box from here or here.

From Allwinner were kind enough to send some samples to Linux-Sunxi community.

We are almost complete with our A80 design so soon we will have more update.
