Zidoo Z1000 - Realtek ARM Chipset

Quote from markturnip

Seems like an ideal device for our requirements, for it's performance & high quality DAC RCA outputs

I have a BPI-W2 with the same RTD1296 SoC from experiments a couple of years ago. It wasn't bad hardware in its day, but the challenge is software. There is almost zero support in the upstream kernel and the vendor sources are both ancient and horrificly ugly. That means no chance of an LE image. There was an effort to upstream things https://github.com/afaerber/linux/tree/rtd1295-next but it appears to have fizzled out, and since the hardware is now ageing I doubt it will resume.
