This device is based on the Armada 510.
See the SoC page for common tips, guides and troubleshooting steps

Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image, install to sd-card is currently the only option.

$ pmbootstrap init
# select edge, solidrun, cubox
$ pmbootstrap install --disk /dev/sdX

Note: installation to USB-memory or HDD should also be possible, but would require a modified `boot.src`

TODO

  • HDMI: investigate to get working
  • SPDIF/TOSLink (audio-out): investigate to get working
  • ESATA: tested, works when
    CONFIG_SATA_MV=m
    is set in kernel config, needs to be added to latest pmaports config.
  • Kernel: optimize config (community-config check passes, could still need optimization for auxiliary modules)
