The only person doing the ranting, rebelling and belittling in this thread is you. I have never commented on the nature of your work, let alone belittle it. I understand you are frustrated with how some of the upstreaming of 96boards is handled. I don't have anything to do with that. The only 96boards i have in my drawer (and never use) is an original HiKey. I work for the enterprise group, not the 96boards team, and I make a point of not working with vendor trees at all. The only reason I submitted some patches to the upcoming release of the ERP is so that we have an installer that works out of the box, but all the patches I did contribute were already queued for v4.15 at that point. > As I've pointed out, an ever-increasing frustration builds over Linaro > continuing to announce new boards (such as SynQuacer) that will be the > best since sliced bread, while neglecting the 96boards that are already > on the market and equally are promoted under the "96Boards" brand. > The Linaro CEO has been promoting the Orange Pi i96 in keynotes, so > management is aware of that hardware, and yet not a single patch came > from Xunlong, RDA Micro or Linaro.
