Offer to help with porting Linux OS

[tllim]

May I first state that as soon as I heard about this board I backed it immediately. It sounds a lovely piece of hardware.

That said, I have purchased many boards that sound great but fail when it comes to using the board for anything except for the demo software installed. I bet a lot of us have been bitten there.

I would like to offer my experience with SOC to get Linux working on the Pine64 board.
I am familiar with compiling and developing on ARM hardware.
As an example of my work I was the first (only?) person to get the SAMA5D3-Xplained board working with a 4.3 inch LCD TFT display. See http://www.element14.com/community/group...lcd-bundle

I know that a board will succeed or fail depending on how easy it is for others to start using it and I feel that this board deserves more than becoming another one in the pile of "ah well" boards I have.
