One caveat to that triple yes. We only want to see devices documented that people actually own, and which have been brought up properly. With u-boot-sunxi and sunxi-boards patches and with photos of the innards, etc. We do not want people to look at aliexpress and just throw some marketing info in our wiki. That's just counterproductive. So Rajesh, buy the device(s) that you fancy, and work through our http://linux-sunxi.org/New_Device_howto and help yourself and others, and enjoy your new arm-based linux device(s) afterwards.
