--- Quote --- 1. Mount your SD card on x86 Tiny Core and open an xterm.
 2. On your x86 machine at the command prompt perform the following:
    $ tce-load -w import       (this will download the import suite of scripts)
    $ tce-load -i import       (to load and ready for use)
 3. We are now ready to import for target armv7. Note that import will download the Debian
    Master index and create an import directory under your existing tce directory. It will
    not install or otherwise mix x86 with armv7. So, at the prompt
    $ import wireless-tools armv7
    $ import wpasupplicant armv7
 4. Next move all the imported files from the imported directories to your SD card's
    tce/optional directory.
 5. Finally, we will need to download some specific Core extensions, so at the prompt
    $ cd /mnt/mountpoint_of_SD/tce/optional
    $ sudo wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/armv7/tcz/8192cu.tcz
    $ sudo wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/armv7/tcz/wifi.tcz
    $ sudo wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/armv7/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep
 6. Remove the SD card by moving off the card and unmouunting
    $ cd
    $ sudo umount /mnt/mountpoint_of_SD/tce/optional

What i am seeking is (an archive with) the files from step 2/3 here, which is the only part that requires an x86 tinyCore. If someone were providing a download on the site proper (which would be awesome), then including the files in step 5 too might be a good idea, but these could easily be downloaded with any system.

A10 requires import. Should be easy enough to grab latest x86 Core to cdrom or pendrive and boot. No need to upgrade or install x86 Core.

mb0:
OK, as i say i tried it with VM, but didn't find the relevant files in an import folder? (it wasn't clear where this should be, but i did a find and looked in all of them). It also prompts to make a tcz or not from the deb files, which your guide does not mention, could you please make that explicit (thanks!).. since it wasn't mentioned, i took it as not to?.

EDIT: checked again.. the steps appear to have worked fine, but `sudo find / -name *armhf.deb` returns nothing, and searching for  'import' gives;

--- Quote ---/tmp/tcloop/import
/tmp/tcloop/import/usr/local/bin/import
/usr/local/bin/import
/user/local/tce.installed/import
--- End quote ---
Searches for `*wireless-tools*` and `*wpasupplicant*` also returned nothing. I ran as user tc in tc's home dir. Used current corePlus.

Sorry, i think i'm stupid.. and you need to select yes to create TCZ and then the files in /tmp/tce/import on a liveCd system. Could you please make that explicit in the readme, thanks!
