Now that Allwinner went public a few weeks ago, we can see that they are running at break-even to a small loss. That's not making tons of money. The benefit to us is sub-$5 chips when many other vendors charge $25-80 for similar chips. Having said that, they did raise $100M in the IPO so they have enough money now to increase their level of Linaro membership and hire a company or consultants to get their kernel mainlined for all CPUs. > > Andrés > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "linux-sunxi" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Jon Smirl [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
