Someone posted a link to a Google Doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K24KdGNLhaTICV1LXSRLdA8GyyrKAP31uj_LrKU8OG0/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1
Containing this interesting paragraph:

This started me thinking. Qualcomm wants and needs to be able to sell their
> processors and they are not blind to the fact that Android appears to be the
> OS of choice on Smart phones and tablets. So I did some looking around and I
> found out that there actually is one other device using the Qualcomm
> APQ8060. This device is not a consumer device--it is a special board
> designed for OEMs who want to use APQ8x60 series processors in their design.
> This device is called a DragonBoard and believe it or not Qualcomm has
> complete Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) source available for this device !!
>
> In addition, the DragonBoard and Touchpad share many components. The
> following chipsets/devices appear to be either compatible or identical on
> both the DragonBoard and Touchpad:
>
>    Main processor
>    Adreno video core
>    Power management ICs (PM8058, PM8901)
>    Sound chipset (Wolfson Microelectronics 8000 series)
>    WiFi and bluetooth chipsets (Both devices have Qualcomm/Atheros
> chipsets)
>    USB I/O chipset
>
>
> This is HUGE news. This means that in theory, the driver support for the
> devices listed above should work out of the box using this reference build.
