Hi, I think that board is bad air now, the board in hardware is well, but in software not, no linux suport now, this company is asking to community to provide a linux support, because they cannot do this work.
and only a sdk from allwinner with android is provided.

this board with linux won't work with accelerated gpu only headless and doesn't have any sata.

there are boards with a soc allwinner A20 that have sata port and works well with mainline linux only headless mode and basic graphics.
or kernel 3.4 for graphics support.

and has a community effort with distribution like armbian.com check these site for headless debian, works well.
