So based on a quick search [1] it looks like it's a Marvell PXA9xx
something or another chip. I don't see any device tree upstream that
really matches and if that spec is correct it has a PowerVR SGX540 GPU
which is closed and not well supported so you will at the very least
need to find a device tree which may work with our kernel but it won't
be an accelerated UX else you'll need to do a custom kernel from
elsewhere.
