Followup; rewrote the SD card with FC21 for Mele A1000; this also works on
A2000 (A2000 is a slightlt different PCB layout
Sunxi says on
" The Mele A1000 has a wedge-like shape whereas the slightly younger A2000
is more square"
"All motherboards are essentially the same, apart from tiny revisions"

Peter,
Thanks for your reply.
Wrt the orange pi: I know this is not in the list of supported devices.
However this one is very compatible to the banana pi so I gave it a stab
and it works.
(actually things like bananian also works on that board).
Wrt Beaglebone black: that one also works Indeed I had to keep the boot
button pressed during poweron (and no: it does not help if you do so during
reset).
Wrt mele A2000: this one is identical to A1000, will try with rawhide as
suggested by Hans.
Beagle XM: will try later (probably tomorrow), would be nice to see that
working too.
(btw does a regular beagle also work)?
Best regards, Frans
