    • Cubieboard is a single-board computer, made in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. The first short run of prototype boards were sold internationally in September 2012, and the production version started to be sold in October 2012. It can run Android 4 ICS, Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, Fedora 19 ARM Remix desktop, Armbian, Arch Linux ARM, a Debian-based Cubian distribution, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD.
    It uses the AllWinner A10 SoC, popular on cheap tablets, phones and media PCs. This SoC is used by developers of the lima driver, an open-source driver for the ARM Mali GPU. At the 2013 FOSDEM demo it ran ioquake 3 at 47 fps in 1024×600.
    The Cubieboard team managed to run an Apache Hadoop computer cluster using the Lubuntu Linux distribution.


    Technical specifications




    = Cubieboard1

    =
    The little motherboard utilizes the AllWinner A10 capabilities

    SoC: AllWinner A10
    CPU: Cortex-A8 @ 1 GHz CPU,
    GPU Mali-400 MP
    video acceleration: CedarX able to decode 2160p video
    display controller: unknown, supports HDMI 1080p
    512 MiB (beta) or 1 GiB (final) DDR3
    4 GB NAND flash built-in, 1x microSD slot, 1x SATA port.
    10/100 Ethernet connector
    2x USB Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CIR.
    96 extend pin including I²C, SPI, LVDS
    Dimensions: 10 cm × 6 cm


    = Cubieboard2

    =
    The second version, sold since June 2013, enhances the board mainly by replacing the Allwinner A10 SoC with an Allwinner A20 which contains 2 ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore CPUs and a dual fragment shader Mali-400 GPU (Mali-400MP2).
    This board is used by Fedora to test and develop the Allwinner SoC port of the distribution.
    There is also a version available with two microSD card slots.


    = Cubietruck (Cubieboard3)

    =
    The third version has a new and larger PCB layout and features the following hardware:

    SoC: Allwinner A20
    CPU: ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1 GHz dual-core
    GPU: Mali-400 MP2
    display controller: Mali-400 GPU, supports HDMI 1080p, no LVDS support
    2 GiB DDR3 @ 480 MHz
    8 GB NAND flash built-in, 1x microSD slot, 1x SATA 2.0 port (Hard Disk of 2,5").
    10/100/1000 RTL8211E Gigabit Ethernet
    2x USB Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CIR.
    S/PDIF, headphone, VGA and HDMI audio out, mic and line-in via extended pins
    Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on board with PCB antenna (Broadcom BCM4329/BCM40181)
    54 extended pins including I²C, SPI
    Dimensions: 11 cm × 8 cm
    There is no LVDS support any longer. The RTL8211E NIC allows transfer rates up to 630–638 Mbit/s (sending while 5–10% idle) and 850–860 Mbit/s (receiving while 0–2% idle) when simultaneous TCP connections are established (testing was done utilising iperf with three clients against Cubietruck running Lubuntu)
    To connect a 3.5" HDD the necessary 12 V power can be delivered by a 3.5 inch HDD addon package which can be used to power the Cubietruck itself as well. Also new is the option to power the Cubietruck from LiPo batteries.


    = Cubieboard 4

    =
    On May 4, 2014 CubieTech announced the Cubieboard 4, the board is also known as CC-A80.
    It is based on an Allwinner A80 SoC (quad Cortex-A15, quad Cortex-A7 big.LITTLE), thereby replacing the Mali GPU with a PowerVR GPU. The board was officially released on 10 March 2015.

    SoC: Allwinner A80
    CPU: 4x Cortex-A15 and 4x Cortex-A7 implementing ARM big.LITTLE
    GPU: PowerVR G6230 (Rogue)
    video acceleration: A new generation of display engine that supports H.265, 4K resolution codec and 3-screen simultaneous output
    display controller: unknown, supports:
    microUSB 3.0 OTG


    = Cubietruck Plus (Cubieboard 5)

    =
    The fifth version has the same PCB layout and almost the same features as the CubieTruck.

    SoC: Allwinner H8
    CPU: ARM Cortex-A7 @ 2 GHz octa-core
    GPU: PowerVR SGX544 @ 700 MHz
    display controller: Toshiba TC358777XBG, supports HDMI 1.4 1080p and DisplayPort, no LVDS support
    2 GiB DDR3
    8 GB EMMC flash built-in, 1x microSD slot, 1x SATA 2.0 port (Hard Disk of 2,5") via USB bridge.
    10/100/1000M RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
    2x USB Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CIR.
    S/PDIF, headphone, and HDMI audio out, mic and line-in via 3.5mm jack, and onboard mic.
    Wi-Fi (dual-radio 2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth on board with PCB antenna
    70 extended pins including I²C, SPI
    Dimensions: 11 cm × 8 cm
