Title: Android 4.2 Jellybean on A13
Post by: ossftw on November 24, 2012, 10:49:56 PM
Currently there is Android 4.0 by default, I was curious if there is development towards Android 4.2 being done?

no, Android is not priority for A13-OLinuXino
if Allwinner release something - good, but our focus is on Linux

can you give insight into how I might be able to port it for the device?  maybe the folks at xda dev can lend a hand too, I'll ask them.  should I contact Allwinner you think?

to the best of my knowledge Allwinner does all the Android development for A1X, to make things worse almost everything in their SDK is as binary blops and you do not know anything at low level as they do not provide proper documentation

unless Allwinner decide to release something I think it's just waste of time to work in this direction

can you give insight for finding an open source board setup similar to a13 olinuxino with wifi and getting android 4.2+ installed?

I messaged Allwinner developers and they gave me the following insight:

linux-sunxi are not the allwinner developers but community developers, they have no access to allwinner inside info too
