Board versions

* V3

name value
CPU Allwinner H3 (armvh7, x4, 0.2Ghz-1.01Ghz)
MEM 1GB (DDR3, ~624Mhz)
Eth Internal (100mbit)
WI-FI XR819
EMMC FORESEE MCEMAM6G-08G (booting from it works and tested on uboot-orange-pi-pc-plus)
USB x2 2.0, (works, presumably the board has contacts for additional USB, This version does not have USB power management (it is always on))
GPIO LED_PWR (1c20800, 15-PA15), LED_STATUS (1f02c00, 362-PL10), IR (1f02c00, 363-PL11), KEY_RESET (1f02c00, 355-PL3)

UART (DEBUG)

* V3 (115200, 3.3)

Status

# V2 (stable)
   - Fully working machine based on x32 armbian, surprisingly much cooler than h5 version. Performance is more than enough for undemanding devices.
# V1 (stable)
   - Fully working machine (without wifi chip) based on x32 armbian, surprisingly much cooler than h5 version. Performance is more than enough for undemanding devices.

Quick Answers to Questions

# Will there be support for 1.2/1.5 GHz processor frequencies?
   - These devices use a constant 1.1V voltage, which cannot be adjusted. This means that higher processor frequencies like 1.2/1.5 GHz are not achievable.
# What driver can I use to make Wi-Fi work?
   - Assemble and connect the module: https://github.com/fifteenhex/xradio

example_how_to_assemble_and_install: make ARCH=arm -C /usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.43-current-sunxi/ M=$PWD modules; make ARCH=arm -C /usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.43-current-sunxi/ M=$PWD INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules_install;
