If they do I hope those chips get better mainline Linux kernel support than the ARM based ones. The work the Armbian devs are doing is amazing, but they are still missing drivers from the manufacturer. Mainly for proper graphics and video encoding/decoding. The only operating system where this works well is in Android with an archaic kernel.
- FullyFunctional 5y agoThe CPU support is already pretty good and for example Huawei is pushing important Linux kernel patches. What you are talking about is drivers for peripherals, which is are SoC-level issues, and really up to the partners (like Allwinner, SiPeed, etc). So far documentation is the most critical part and it's a very mixed bag. I think this will be much like the Arm experience, albeit everyone is at least using device trees these days.
