Ingenic is going to release their XBrust2 core with it's products such as X2000 a few days later. Witch is a pure MIPS64r5 with MXU2(A superset of MIPS's MSA SIMD instruction set). The newest kernel port of X1000 maintain by Ingenic is based on Linux-4.4 [1]. After communicated with Ingenic, they said they are forcusing on China domestic market. But they're looking for partners to enter foriegn market. [1] https://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8MeYts (Well you can download from this Chinese website, ingenic have a gerrit but I don't have access to it. As my experience, it's hard to develop on Chinese-made chips wihout reading Chinese documents.) > > >
