Hi James,

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.

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.)

Can you take a diff and upload it somewhere else? Download speed is a
couple of bytes per second. Can you put the diff in github or similar
other service?
I would like to see if the port uses DT.

Technically this was documented here:

ftp://ftp.ingenic.cn/DevSupport/Linux/Linux-3.0.8/JZ4780/JZ4780_linux_development_guide_EN.pdf

Go to §2.1 Download Source Code:

1) Download repo a) $ mkdir b) $ cd c) $ wget
http://git.ingenic.cn:8082/bj/repo d) $ chmod +x repo

However everything seems to be gone (including the gerrit page).
