Check out the NanoPI[0]. I've had really good luck with it.

Also, the Zymbit[1] works nicely with its eMMC.

That's interesting, thanks! Although, aren't AllWinner the devil? I think I recall someone saying that.

Maybe once upon a time, but with blobless mainline Linux kernel support for almost all features on almost all SOCs[1], including video codecs on many parts[2], anyone claiming Allwinner to be "the devil" or variants on a theme is unambiguously incorrect. Broadcomm and the raspi foundation are evil. [3][4]
