This talk looks at the state of upstream U-Boot, Linux kernel, FreedesktopSDK, and Yocto Project for the powerful SpacemiT K1-based Banana Pi BPI-F3. Nothing has been merged yet, but I took the various pieces posted on mailing lists or available as merge requests and gave them a spin. As a reference for comparison, I also looked at the vendor downstream stuff available from Banana Pi Team/SpacemiT.
