GENERIC arm64 config works on A3700 (brand new uart driver, network, usb 3.0 and 2.0, sata 3.0). What's missing is PCIe RC and SD/MMC driver. BTW. Armada 7k/8k family is supported as well now in the HEAD (uart, usb 3.0, sata 3.0, RTC). Missing features are network driver, PCIe RC and SD/MMC (last one shared with A3700). Best regards, Marcin
