ARM based devices comparison
Very interesting. When you said Allwinner and Mali400, I thought you were talking about the Cubieboard. I hadn't heard about the MK802 II before.
Its too bad there's no open GPU driver (well, the Raspberry Pi is now the closest with the recent announcement).
Toolchain build time
Yeah, 2 hours seems about right for building the cross compilation toolchain (memory's a bit fuzzy here). But just adding libtool didn't take very long.

Open Source Mali-200/300/400/450 GPU Kernel Device Drivers
http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/drivers/open-source-mali-gpus-linux-kernel-device-drivers/
Source code for Mali GPUs Kernel Device Drivers, UMP Device Drivers and DRM Device Drivers under GPLv2 licence
The Linux and Android version of the Mali GPUs DDKs include three components which run within the kernel. The most important of these, known as the Device Driver, provides the low-level access to the Mali-200, Mali-300, Mali-400 and Mali-450 GPU. An important, secondary component is the Unified Memory Provider (UMP) which can be used in a variety of ways to facilitate zero-copy operations within the driver stack. An additional component, the Mali Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), is provided to integrate the Mali GPU DDKs into the X11 environment and for enabling the Direct Rendering Interface (DRI2).

Yarrr!!! I have a Minix Neo X7 as my home server (currently using gentoo).
Too bad there is no devicetree and 3.10 kernel support for it. And AFAIK I cannot use internal NAND storage (only SD).
And you also have 3D working...
Man, can you please write a short guide for installing slitaz on raxda (kernel, drivers, etc)?

Ref:
Ubuntu 14.04 and Slitaz on Radxa Rock
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/05/18/ubuntu-14-04-and-slitaz-on-radxa-rock/
First download boot-slitaz-20140517.img (kernel + slitaz ramdisk), then follow the 「Flashing Ubuntu to Radxa Rock」 section in my getting started guide for Radxa Rock to flash boot.img. It is simply one line:
upgrade_tool di -b /path-to/boot-slitaz-20140517.img
Simply login with root username, and root password to access the command line. It might also be possible to use a more up-to-date rootfs from http://arm.slitaz.org/rpi/, but it is only armel.
[Update: Alanyih has also been given me the build instructions for his Slitaz image:
git clone -b wip/lsk-android-14.04-radxa-rock https://github.com/linux-rockchip/kernel_rockchip.git
make radxa_rock_defconfig
make zImage rk3188-radxa-rock.dtb
cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3188-radxa-rock.dtb > zImage-lsk
mkbootimg --kernel zImage-lsk --ramdisk slitaz-ramdisk.gz -o boot-slitaz-20140517.img
]
Both Ubuntu 14.04 and Slitaz should be able to run on any Rockchip RK3188 device thanks to the device tree and multi-platform enabled Linux kernel, as long as you can somehow come up with the right device file for your device, which may not always be an easy task.
