What time frame are we looking at for this devices release? Will Radxa make a SoM/CM version?

Is this official?

I would love to see a SoM/CM. But also a pico-ITX version like 5B/B+/T for better cooling management and richer/cleaner I/O.

I wrote an article about the Dragon Q6A. If you have any questions about the board I should cover in the full review let me know :slight_smile:

Did they implement USB 3.1 Type-C with DisplayPort output?

Can the board go to ‘sleep to ram’ mode (like a tablet / laptop) out-of-the-box and if so, what is the current draw like?

I’m very interested in testing this board too. I am working on another vendor’s board but is stuck on kernel 5.4.219… incredible.

Also very keen to explore the bootloader and see if there’s a chance of a clean Android / Linux dual boot solution!

This one I can sadly already answer with no. USB-C is just for power.
I wish they would’ve used the native DP capability of the SoC instead of routing it through the RA620 for HDMI conversion and maybe use MIPI to HDMI for the port
