What's the mainline kernel support situation for this SoC? If not mainline support, what's the kernel security update story?

Re: Asus Takes on Raspberry Pi with 4K-capable Tinker Board
#12The problem I have with these boards that pop up is that they get announced, they aren't quite compatible with the popular alternative (the Raspberry Pi), so you buy one and it ends up sitting in a shelf somewhere. I still remember the whole Intel Edison disaster. These days, the primary decider of which board I'll use is how big the ecosystem is. The Raspberry Pi ecosystem (as well as the Arduino ecosystem) is huge,…
Exactly.
Also, this new board is a bit too expensive IMO.

the ESP8266, when it came out, was more proposed to be used together with an Arduino. Only after people made it run arduino sketches on its own, it became compatible.

#14Doesn't look like there's a real time clock and accompanying battery, like most other boards like this. I wonder why that's left out? It can't cost that much to add and seems pretty important.

The raspberry pi and beaglebone black don't have one either. This one does have on board wifi and gigabit Ethernet.
