Blockers for Pure blending
Support for the Allwinner A13 SoC is not yet mainlined to Linux Kernel upstream, hence we can't yet have a official Kernel for Allwinner A13 Soc boards. See the Linux-SUNXI project for mainlining progress. With 4.7, most components should work with a stock kernel.

There's a mailinglist and an Alioth group.
