Hi Kieran,

Thank you very much!

Thanks - it's good to know that it's not just me struggling to work that 
out. I guess there's enough from NXP, ST and chipmakers like Renesas 
implementing Mali-C55 to give healthy competition between chipmakers 
even without Amlogic.

I'm very fast at opening things up, defeating tricks used to make things 
difficult-to-open-up and finding out what's inside them so if I can be 
of any help with that let me know.

I could maybe email them at support at amlogic.com or contact at amlogic.com 
to ask if they have a reference design or evaluation or development 
boards for the C308 or examples of any products that use the C308 if 
that would help? (Not sure I'll get a reply...)
