The Solidrun CuBox is the first in a series of small and fanless nettop-class computers manufactured by the Israeli company SolidRun Ltd.

This port covers the Marvell Armada 510 (88AP510) based first revision.

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
  • RC-receiver seem to work, but not really tested up to now
  • Kernel: optimize config (community-config check passes, could still need optimization for auxiliary modules)
