    I have tried it, but i wasn’t successful. I could not boot from a SD card. It seems to be the A20 needs a micro SD card. I ordered one and will check it out this week. ;-)

    RetroPie-Setup is not compatible with the olimex debian image at the moment. RetroPie-Setup cannot disable the autostart of Xorg/XFCE and emulationstation cannot start if Xorg is running.

    With minor changes of the RetroPie-Setup Script it should be possible to run emulation station and Retroarch cores.

    There is no defined way to target different platforms at the moment. I will try to fork the current RetroPie-Setup for olimex A20.

    But first of all i will disable the autostart Xorg manually and check out if emulationstation is running.

    Update:
    -I modified retropie setup script.
    -You can build and run emulationstation. Emulationstation starts only if X is running. It runs slow as hell, because it uses mesa GL libs. GLES builds will not start at the moment. Should be a emulation station problem.
    -You can build and run Retroarch. At 720p the framerate drops to 40-50Hz. Shaders cannot be used (too slow). 480p or 576p should be fast enough.
    -The Mali kernel module r3p0 is too old. Only one core of the MALI400MP2 dual GPU is used. If the kernel module r3p2-relxx could be build the framerate should be much better.

    Update:
    -It is possible to build SDL2 and EmulationStation with GLES support. Runs really smooth under X.
    -It is also possible to compile RetroArch with GLES support.
    -GB and SNES cores are running atm. Cannot start PCSX, cannot build pocketsnes. Have not tested other cores.

    Update:
    -GB, GBC, SNES, GENESIS, MASTERSYSTEM and PSX are running fine. (resolution 576p)
    -Cannot build mupen64plus-rpi and gasp.
    -Shaders are slow as hell. Smooth video runs good.
    -SNES: Secret of Mana 2, Starwing and Super Mario RPG run at full speed.
    -PSX: Gran Turismo runs good.
