[Norbert Kett]

i also want to know it

besides that there is no armbian support for it yet, do not exepect anything useful linux-wise on this kind of boxes for the next months - h728/a523/t527 are all very similar (i.e. in large parts identical) allwinner socs, so the same as

applies here as well

if anyone has a Radxa cubie A5E and wants to test the lastest bringup work here you go. I don't own the other h728/a523/t527 boards so I can't test them. I willl not provide images because this is experimental.

Hello @Nick A.
I tried following your guide using newest branch from the git.
But I got 5 patching failed error and build stop running.
 

Should I delete that patch to making the build continue ?

I think I can delete because that patch is used for Rockchip board and we talking about X96Q Pro+ (Allwinner H728).

[Nick A]

@San Dich Huu sure if it’s not needed. Go ahead and delete them.

There are two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, and the heat sink looks great. spec

 

I built a Debian 13 image as per @Nick A's instructions and burned it to a micro SD card, and booted it with this box. Unfortunately, the screen went black with no progress.
