Credit where it's due. The StarFive guys are working on getting the whole board into upstream - which means, no more "so we made this kernel image that you put here". This is actually huge, since practically no ARM board really has that. You do have upstream in Armbian and such, but you will basically always have a compromise or two.

They are attempting to just ... not have any, at all. o.o Amazing.

Dude! This is kinda cool, the patch comments seem to be written by an angry dev but the hardware seems legit!

Agreed. This is actually amazing stuff and /way/ beyond most ARM situations. I bought this board just at the perfect time, ngl. xD
