currently they don't even sell A20 samples, and it was mostly removed
from their website (to not compete with the A31 I suppose). for the A31
Tsvetan (olimex.com) was told not even the short datasheet (pins and
features) is written yet, and no devkits are available. All A31-based
products currently designed (PCBs) and integrated (android) within
Allwinner walls.
Chances are very high that the SDKs for these are similar to sun5i ones,
i.e. with all allwinner code provided as .o/.ko only... and just enough
.h files to be able to compile drivers.
<rant>ARM should *force* all their licensees to respect the GPL. They
are profiting for this immoral negligence and that puts ARM itself in
the same bucket.</rant>
cheers,
