MeLE A2000
I purchased a MeLE A2000 from Tom over at aliexpress, and been playing around with it as well. First I wanted to install ICS4, to do that I downloaded the android_4.0.img file from the 'net. Alas, there is a large volume of confusing information on what to do with this.
http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/ https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Firmware/?key=ThisIsFC2012
For the MeLE A2000, I also downloaded PhoenixCardV303(win7) and installed that in my VirtualBox Win7 system, forwarded the OSX USB drive and told it to install android_4.0.img.
https://www.wuala.com/zercosz/Mele%20A2000/Utilidades%20Mele/?key=ThisIsFC2012 http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/
After that, I inserted the SD card into Mele, and rebooted.
The power LED will blink RED + BLUE for a while, then power LED will turn off.
Take out SDcard, and reboot MeLE. It will now boot ICS, but only on HDMI@720p.
I can confirm BubbleUPNP + 2160pPlayer will play 1080p MKVs over network. Nice!
Google Market/Play
I installed one of the Terminal programs, and told adb to use TCP (haven't bothered to open my mele yet). Using adb and the instructions found allwinner a10 scripts I loaded Google Market/Play to the mele.
Changing resolution
No idea yet.
U-boot
Since I added ZFS to u-boot for CuBox, and also patched in Samsungs EXT4 patches, I built hno's u-boot to test.
wget http://lundman.net/ftp/mele/sunxi-spl.bin dd if=sunxi-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8 # Obviously, sdc is my SDcard, change device to applicable. wget http://lundman.net/ftp/mele/u-boot.bin dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=32 # Obviously, sdc is my SDcard, change device to applicable.
