ah that's a misunderstanding, paul. what neal (bless 'im) is
referring to there is the fact that the A31 has *inside the Silicon
design* an early version of the OR1000 core, which is run at a very
low clock speed and is used to manage the chip when everything else is
powered down in "sleep state".
let's just hope the Allwinner had the good sense to realise that if
they made any modifications to that OR1000 core they have to respect
the LGPL license that OR1000 is released under, eh?
... oh dearie me.... :)
