Most of the AllWinner android tablets are based on a handful of
devices. Some have been known to work to some degree. I'm not sure how
to tell which is which but if you can find that out it's possible it
might worth with one of the u-boots we ship at which point it should
boot OK off the MMC card.

If you get it booted though you might not have a working touchscreen
and the graphics isn't accelerated.

I can't help any more than that as I've not investigated those tablets at all.
