I'm pretty impressed with the general build quality of the

real advantage over it.

What sort of information would I need to collect in order to have this
working in Fedora or with the AllWinner remix?  Looking at Hans's
github repositories it seems like the "*.fex" file is important in
some way, but I don't know where this comes from or how to create it.
Apart from this is anything else required?

p.s.

Alternatively, and likely a better path, esp. given that you want to
do virt on it, you could try to get the upstream kernel running on it.

The first step would be to find a u-boot which support sd-card boot
on the A31, and I don't know if someone already has that working.

The upstream kernel does have rudimentary A31 support, and as A10 /
A20 support gets enhanced, A31 support should more or less grow in
sync, since they mostly use the same ip blocks. This does require
someone to write the necessary devicetree bits for A31. Some of
the linux-sunxi devs do have A31 boards (I don't). So I would expect
them to write such device tree support.

Regards,

Hans
