ODROID-C1 is based on the A5 so it should be closest.
But not that close.

Atmel has made your task extra difficult.

They use their own interrupt controller instead of a GIC.
They use their own timers instead of the A9 or ARM generic timers.
They use their own uart instead of a common ns16550.

Good news, it’s a uniprocessor so you don’t have worry MP support.

Have fun and good luck.
