Tea Cup Tinker Board

The Tea Cup is a Tinker Board built on the Ingenic T31 MIPS CPU, which is specialised for Video & Audio Applications, and has highly integrated support for multiple interfaces, LCD's, SD Card, Ethernet and more.

Designed with the community in mind, the Tea Cup is going to be ideal for Kids, Tweens and Teens, and adults alike, to tinker with hardware and software inside of an interface designed with ease-of-use and simplicity, but never locking the user down to a limited API or enviroment.

This project is currently in alpha, with a small team working on it, you can join our commuinty Discord Server

Having this in mind, the tools we are using in this project are:

• FreeCAD
• KiCad
• binwalk
• Ghidra
• GIMP

Currently Working on:

• Getting an up-to-date SDK from ingenic
• Compiling uboot and attempting to create our own kernel with outdated SDK
• PCB Design for REV-A
• Testing differences between T31 Series and other Ingenic CPUs
• Finding a reliable and cheap method to get ICs from existing products
• Getting source for bulk order of T31's

Have finished:

• REV-A Roadmap
• Compiled and ran code on the host device
• Reverse engineering of the "$1 webcam" PCB, with full Serial comms
