Fast boot and responsive UI
Boot times are impressive on both Android and Linux builds. The Mali-G31 GPU handles 4K video playback without stuttering. Highly recommended for anyone needing a compact SBC with modern wireless standards.

Perfect for my robot controller
I needed a board with dual camera support and strong processing power for computer vision. This board fits the bill perfectly. The MIPI CSI interfaces work flawlessly with standard sensors.

Solid performance for prototyping
We used this for an industrial control prototype. The temperature stability is good, and the expansion headers are well-labeled. Would give 5 stars if the case was included in the base kit.

Excellent board for embedded Linux projects
The Firefly Luban Cat A1 is a powerhouse for its size. Setting up Debian was straightforward, and the WiFi 6 connectivity is surprisingly fast. The documentation provided by Firefly made getting started with the GPIO pins very easy.

Great hardware, minor software quirks
Hardware quality is top-notch. The H618 chip handles multitasking well. I did encounter a small issue with the Bluetooth driver in the initial Android image, but a quick update from the support forum resolved it immediately.

Best value for learning embedded systems
As a student, this board offers incredible value. It runs Android smoothly for UI testing and switches to Linux for backend logic development. The community support is very active and helpful.
Q: Does the WiFi 6 module support 5GHz bands?
A: Absolutely. The integrated WiFi 6 module supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band frequencies, offering greater flexibility and reduced interference.
Q: Can I run Ubuntu on this development board?
A: Yes, while our primary Linux images are Debian and Buildroot, the community has successfully ported Ubuntu to the Allwinner H618 architecture. You can find installation guides in our wiki.
Q: Does this board support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: The standard Firefly Luban Cat A1 IO Card does not include built-in PoE. However, there is a header available for connecting an external PoE module if your project requires it.
Q: Is the source code for the BSP available?
A: Yes, Firefly is committed to open source. The Board Support Package (BSP) source code, including kernel and u-boot modifications, is available on our official GitHub repository.
Q: What is the maximum resolution supported by the HDMI port?
A: The HDMI 2.0 interface supports output resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, ensuring crisp visuals for high-definition displays.
