Well... they were mostly know for GPL violations and less-than-propper support for everything they claimed (try reading the SoC spec for the A20. If you can find it. Other examples include GPS support, proprietary drivers without support, not releasing sources, etc.).
But apparently they stepped up their game. Even for debugging this is an odd one.
- jws 10y agoThey tell you the names of many registers. What more do you want? (I really miss the old days when you got a document that explained everything about your processor. I have an ARM port of an experimental OS waiting for a new board with a complete data sheet. It's been a year so far.)
- userbinator 10y agotry reading the SoC spec for the A20. If you can find it. Googling "AllWinner A20 datasheet" brings in good results. "Broadcom BCM2836 datasheet" doesn't. All you get is part of the GPIO registers, and absolutely NO electrical specifications. (Part of me really wants someone working there to "take one for the community" and leak the full datasheet. Ironically, that's how the AllWinner docs were originally released.)
