This is great news. I'll test it out tonight. I was reading Peter Robinson's blog today[1] and he mentioned getting AllWinner support, in Fedora 21. Is that a realistic plan -- (from my point of view) at least headless virt support for the Cubietruck in F21? I'm not too clear on how all these patches are going upstream, if at all. Rich.
