cubietruck - overview and ressources

Cubietruck

cubietruck is cubieboard v3, based on A20 SoC from Allwinner (Cortex-A7 dual cores) 

Operating System:

• Android is the default Operating System, and is already installed in the cubietruck on-board flash memory. You don't need any external storage device, and the cubietruck can be started ASAP (plug a monitor on the VGA output, and plug the power cable in a 5V USB power supply or in the USB port of your PC). Going ahead, you can use a mouse and even a keyboard in the cubieboard USB ports, and use it like an Android appliance.
• But it is really easy to prepare a micro-SD card (from a PC, linux prefered) with a linux distro like lubuntu or fedora. Cookbook can easily be found on the web (sUe following links). My own cubietruck is running with lubuntu...
