The company did not provide any information about software support, but it’s likely both Linux distributions and Android will be supported. “On request” usually means the company can design it for you, so 8GB RAM is probably not available right now, and you’d likely have to commit to a minimal order or pay NRE, in order to get it done.
CYCLONE F100 is manufactured by Eolane, and appears to be available now at an undisclosed price. A few more details may be found on Calao Systems Cyclone F100 product page.
