The Cubieboard uses an Allwinner SoC, which has a bad reputation among oppen source people since Allwinner violated the GPL multiple times in the past (though I heard the Linux support is decent; mainly because of the work of the Sunxi community: https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page). Novena (and "Sabre Lite - i.MX6 Quad Core"; cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12743798 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12743798) indeed use a Freescale (now bought by NXP) SoC.
