"...next generation pcDuino, pcDuino8, based on Allwinner's UltraOctaA80
chipset, world's first ARM® big.LITTLE(TM) octa-core heterogeneous SoC
chip with lightning-fast PowerVR 64-core G6230 GPU from Imagination
Technologies."

So this is an 8-core ARM board with a 64-core GPU?

I assume the "Duino" part alludes to Arduino, but what the connection? I
don't see any mention of a microcontroller co-processor. Are they doing
Arduino software emulation like the Galileo? Are the headers Arduino
shield compatible? Or is "Duino" just their way of saying that it is an
embedded board aimed at makers?
