Allwinner Joins Linaro as a Founding Member of the Linaro Digital Home Group
Allwinner Technology Invests in Open Source Community by Joining Linaro
Allwinner Technology, a worldwide leader in application processor design, today at Linaro Connect Asia 2014 (LCA14) in Macau announced that it has joined Linaro as a founding member of the Linaro Digital Home Group (LHG).
Allwinner has contributed to open source projects since open-sourcing the single-core Allwinner A10’s code in 2011. Joining Linaro as a founding member of the Linaro Digital Home Group will enable Allwinner to better ensure open source support for its chips and reduce kernel fragmentation.
"We are pleased to join Linaro as a founding member of the new Linaro Digital Home Group,” said Jack Lee, Chief Marketing Officer of Allwinner. “We will take an active role in the organization and work with Linaro and the open source community to drive new ARM technologies. "
Allwinner has shipped more chips for Android tablets globally than any other supplier over the last two years and has also developed into a multimedia technology leader in the digital home market. Allwinner’s worldwide customer base has grown rapidly, putting more powerful, more affordable devices in the hands of more consumers. In addition to connected tablets, Allwinner’s chips are today used in Android set-top boxes, HDMI dongles, notebook computers, and advanced driver assistance systems.
“China is a significant area of development for Linaro and open source software is gathering significant strategic momentum both in the local regional market and with global customers,” said Joe Bates, Linaro Member Services EVP. “We’re particularly happy to welcome Allwinner as a member of the new Linaro Digital Home Group and look forward to working with them on open source software and on accelerating time to market for new products in this rapidly developing segment.”
OEMs across all tiers recognize Allwinner’s leading market position and continue to choose Allwinner’s latest-generation processors to deliver outstanding end-user value. At CES 2014, Allwinner Technology introduced its newest UltraOcta A80 processor, the world's first ARM® big.LITTLE™ octa-core heterogeneous SoC design to include a 64-core PowerVR G6230 GPU. The chip’s powerful multimedia features, including 4K encoding/decoding, H.265, tri-screen display, and advanced wireless screen mirroring, make it strong candidate for digital home devices. Target applications include connected tablets, OTT media players, smart TVs, all-in-one PCs, ADAS, networking, and more.

Unfortunately my Tronsmart T1000 is stuck at EZCast firmware 11283 version and it seems that it is unable to receive OTA updates anymore, I don't know why. I tried many times in Settings to Upgrade, but the system always told me that my device firmware is the latest one. I know how to upgrade it manually, but I don't have the latest firmware image.
The Android application gave me now the next error: if you have several WiFi connections available, you have first to go in Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Choose Tronsmart; only in this way can connect then in application with Tronsmart T1000. This is maybe because of my old EZCastfirmware (11283).
Here you can download the previous versions pack.
Tronsmart T1000 is an amazing Mirror2TV dongle.
