Ingenic is going to release their XBrust2 core with it's products such
as X2000 a few days later. Witch is a pure MIPS64r5 with MXU2(A
superset of MIPS's MSA SIMD instruction set). The newest kernel port of
X1000 maintain by Ingenic is based on Linux-4.4 [1]. After communicated
with Ingenic, they said they are forcusing on China domestic market.
But they're looking for partners to enter foriegn market.

Chinese website, ingenic have a gerrit but I don't have access to it.
As my experience, it's hard to develop on Chinese-made chips wihout
reading Chinese documents.)
