    No. The most substantial "something" they "announced" in this regard was 3 years ago, but they didn't say they were already working on it. They hadn't even decided for the target architecture yet.

    Yes, they have them publicly available mostly, even for an Exynos 5 chip:

    Allwinner SoCs use Cortex-A8, Cortex-A7 or Cortex-A15, of which only the last one would be worth supporting in my opinion. Unfortunately, Allwinner SoCs with Cortex-A15 CPU core use PowerVR GPU, for which documentation is said to be hard to come by for non-corporate developers.
