FOOD FOR THOUGHT Has anyone tried PBXIAF on a C.H.I.P?

[sigmaz]

I backed the Next Thing Co.'s development of C.H.I.P which is a $9 machine, A cute little Allwinner R8 based device..

I don't know if anyone else here got in on the Kickstarter project but of course I'm looking to install PBXIAF on it.

I just thought I'd drop that in here and see if anyone else was already playing with it.

@sigmaz which package did you go for?

My initial backer level was just for a single unit. I didn't go all in and order multiple units or any addon display shields, Mainly because my wife would have beaten me.
I was however able to ( a few days later) also pre-order a Pocket C.H.I.P. bundle which includes the touchscreen display, LiPo battery, and another unit which I am patiently waiting for..
ETA for fulfillment of that package is around May.

February and March $9 C.H.I.P preorders are still open with some 5 thousand + units unclaimed.

I'd be real interested to see a few of these used for this purpose.
How well would C.H.I.P work? Could it work for that matter with little or no changes to the available payloads?

I know there was some ARM support done in the past because I have PBXIAF running under my Pogoplug V4.
