No, this board is not officially supported and nobody cares about the situation. https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=No+official+support+(CSC) Technically it is per board property, defined here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/boards/renegade.conf#L10-L11

We have certain minimum requirements to support a board and those are not met. We need more than one board and somebody accountable. And someone as a backup. 18 hours ago, sfx2000 said: it's a good performer I know.

Those boards have some shortcomings which makes them less interesting than siblings - lack of a power regulator (impact on heating, power consumption and performance) and micro USB powering (stability).

No doubt... Allwinner is interesting, but the chips are cheap, relatively fast, and the HW community offers a rich diversity of platforms... Did some work on the H3 based Beelink-X2 a couple of years back - was always impressed by that big hunk of steel on the two I picked up in Shenzen - why use aluminum or copper when one has... no wonder they ran warm, but even then, once heat soaked, they were at least consistent. It had a decent amount of RAM and the eMMC - nice TV box...
