Both are Cortex -A8, there is also a Real Time kernel as well.

I came across this pcDuino compatible distro:



Also the following distributor seems to be hungry for pcDuino related examples and is offering reasonable discounts on parts in exchange for pcDuino projects:

Perhaps you can negotiate a deal for camera modules, etc.

I took a look on some distributions, and Ubuntu seems to be the one which have more support avaliable.
For while, I´ll keep with that distro.
