In case one wants to go for cubie, this is where all the information lives, right? http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Allwinner Is it still current? Have things got any better lately, from either Linux or Xen side? While this is, I think, the same for Arndale: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Arndale which does look less "hacky", at least at a first glance... Claudio, perhaps you can investigate how easy it would be for you to get an Arndale board, and fallback on cubie2/truck if it's actually that hard?
