[fedora-arm] Anyone working on Mele A1000 or Allwinner A10 CPU?

[Jon]

Have tried to get the kernel to build, and I remember these sites were helpful.

https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000/Building_Debian_From_Source_Code_for_Mele/

Make sure that cgroups are enabled in your kernel.
Once you have the kernel build you can integrate with the latest userland image.

Somebody on IRC suggested that the Allwinner patches may need
improvement before they could be accepted upstream?
It would be great if that happened, as Fedora only digests upstream kernel.

Otherwise this could be a 3rd party spin like raspi?
