Also extremly interesting are the Allwinner based boards.

Board such as the Olimex Olinuxino's are open source hardware 
(schematics etc available via their github) and are supported (out of 
tree unfortunately for now, but tree is being pulled regularly) by 
u-boot and linux. Usermanuals/datasheets are available for A10, A13 and 
A20 series of chips to study.
