I know that’s your problem, but no network could have a side effect during first boot… trying to help… I have no problem testing various display and cables.
Did you also try to power off and on again after first boot?

A5E no video output
Aye nothing worked I really think its that hdmi mini hdmi adaptor tbh
My board also could not get any video output,
6.15 kernel is out, I reviewed changeset for allwinner and nothing important about this board, is it worth to try it now?
Well, first, let’s clarify that there are two kernel lines. BSP 5.15, developed by Allwinner, is the one used by RAXDXA to build Debian. On the other hand, there’s the mainline kernel, which the Sunxi community developers are working on.
I’ve used mainline to compile Armbian (Debian and Ubuntu).
Armbian for Cubie A5e is in “staging” mode. To do so, I used a Linux 6.14 repository where mainline kernel support was being implemented.
Currently, the stable 6.15 kernel has just been released with initial (or preparatory) support for Allwinner A523.
The device tree for Cubie A5e and other boards has been merged for kernel 6.16 which should enter RC1 phase shortly.
Armbian has three branches: Edge, Current, and Legacy.
Current should switch to the 6.15 kernel branch, which is already considered stable, and Edge should switch to 6.16, which would allow Armbian to be compiled with mainline kernel support. Eth0 has been enabled on A523 SoCs, so once the Armbian 6.14 build is moved to 6.16, the image should be fairly stable.

Juan, thanks for update,
I briefly checked Armbian official repo and it’s not yet switched,
Are You working on some fork available to try?
I’m waiting for the armbian team to bump sunxi edge to 6.16 to activate the cubie mainline repository since the current version is 6.14
