My SBC was posted on 20th of October from Allnet China and already arrived with the latest firmware (v1.08.111 @ 2022-09-29 … checked on UART).
The ordered 65W power supply worked for me out of the box but I also had problem with other PD sources (dock stations, Lenovo 65W PSU). Nevertheless it also worked with Mi Power Bank 3 Pro. This was with the stock Debian image.
Then I installed Armbian and it works with (almost) everything including an LG 27UD69P monitor.
BTW, the fixed 12V input also works see my other post.
