Not a lot of "porting" to do. Fex + u-boot + kernel, done.

I would also like to see this done. If it is so trivial, could you point me to some sort of how-to so I can do it myself?

You need to compile a u-boot for that device. I will not hunt this down for you.
You need a working Fex/Script.bin for that device. I will not hunt this down for you.
You need a kernel with the modules configured for any hardware out of the existing selection for other A20 based boards. The existing sun7i kernel should function.

Hi WarheadsSE,

Thank you for telling me what's needed, but I'd gathered that much. I'm really trying to find out what the process of creating an image from these components is. For further reference, I found these:
- U-boot: https://github.com/qubir/phoenixA20_uboot_sourcecode
- Fex: https://github.com/qubir/phoenixA20_lin ... PhoenixA20
- Kernel from: http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinux ... est.tar.gz

After this all I can find is that I should now be able to make the image, but no-one is giving any information as to how to do this. What am I missing?

http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7 ... bieboard-2

Follow those, but with your uboot & fex. uboot per the dd'ing, and the fex places in /boot
