Does X1000 use a different PRID, or is it basically just a JZ4780 core
with different SoC peripherals?

Yes X1000 does have a different PRID (PRID = 0x2ed1024f). X1000 has

Right, so thats 0x2e000000 | PRID_COMP_INGENIC_D1 | PRID_IMP_JZRISC |
0x4f, which cpu-probe.c already handles (apparently the D1 company code
is used for JZ4770 & JZ4775 too).

Okay. Does this mean I need not modify get_board_mach_type() and
get_system_type()?

I used to get my code tested from Domink but I could not reach him for
quite some time. Before buying the development board myself I would
like to see if anyone can help me in testing. Do you have any contact
with Ingenic who can help in testing this?

Not personally, but I'll ask around. Of course if nobody much cares
about it in practice and nobody has the hardware, there may be little
value in supporting it upstream.

Seems Jiaxun is interested in the board and is willing to help.

I have been told that Ingenic is focusing on IoT market and X1000 is
intended for IoT segment. I think that they would be selling several
100Ks of chip over the coming years. But I feel Ingenic spends time
only on maintaining their Linux port which is usually based on very
old kernel version.
