So that's A8, with Mali GPU. 50% faster clock speed than the i.MX53.

I'm happy with the 1GB that I have.

Great.

Useful to have.

Great.
So what seems to be missing is:
- Audio. It must have this. Perhaps you've just forgotten to mention it.
- Analogue video output. I've seen a chip block diagram that suggest that it
has "TV Out", and also "TV In". But that might be the wrong chip because it
doesn't show SATA. Analogue video out is something that I'm using on my i.MX
board, and is nice to have.
Cheers, Phil.
