Nearly all the dev boards with the exception on the Pi are on old kernels. A lot of things especially gpu related don't work well. Even the Pi was booting with a gpu blob untill a few months ago. All these SOCs including the Rockchip 3288 and the newer 3399 work perfectly on Android and Chrome seen in the Asus Flipbooks and the Samsung Chromebook Pros. So perfectly good drivers that work on Linux exist. Yet something goes missing between the cup and the sip. This is just selective self serving use of open source by Google and ARM. OEMs cannot release drivers unless ARM and other hardware manufacturers let them, its like expecting Asus and MSI to release Intel or Nvidia drivers for Linux without Intel and Nvidia's support. Google has huge influnce in this ecosystem and can play a role in moving things along but they would rather these devices just work on Android and Chrome.
