I've not really played around with it.

The layout is the same as other Allwinner stock ROMs. There is only one system. >> Not sure if FEL mode or Android fastboot would work on this board. >> If not, it's going to be hard to mainline without U-boot support. >> > > You can get into FEL mode if you keep pressing "2" while in the serial > console and then restart the board. > Perhaps I am missing something? Getting into FEL mode is not the issue. Whether it will work with a host mode only OTG port is. I do not have a type A USB cable to test this.
