Radxa Partners with Allwinner Technology to Launch the First A733 Platform-Based Single Board Computer Cubie A7A
—— Empowering Innovative Applications Across Multiple Industries with a High-Performance Edge AI Computing Platform
【August 18, 2025, Zhuhai, China】 —— Radxa today officially announced its collaboration with Allwinner Technology (stock code: 300458) to launch the first single board computer (SBC) based on the Allwinner A733 processor platform — the Cubie A7A. This product combines high-performance computing, AI acceleration capabilities, and flexible interface expansion, targeting various application scenarios such as edge computing, artificial intelligence, industrial automation, and smart home, providing developers, enterprise customers, and system integrators with a cost-effective, long-lifecycle hardware foundation.
Balancing High Performance and Cost-Effectiveness
The Cubie A7A is equipped with the Allwinner A733 high-performance octa-core AI platform processor, which includes 2× Arm® Cortex®-A76 + 6× Arm Cortex®-A55 CPU cores, complemented by an Imagination BXM-4-64 GPU, supporting graphics and computing standards such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenCL 3.0. Additionally, it integrates a Vivante VIP9000 Neural Processing Unit (NPU), providing up to 3 Tops of AI inference capability and supporting various precision operations including INT8, INT16, FP16, and BF16, meeting diverse AI application needs. In terms of storage, the Cubie A7A supports up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory, as well as various high-speed storage interfaces such as eMMC 5.1, UFS 3.0, and NVMe SSD, ensuring data processing speed and system responsiveness.
Rich Interfaces and Flexible Expansion
The Cubie A7A offers a rich array of peripheral interfaces including PCIe 3.0, HDMI 2.0, MIPI CSI/DSI, USB 3.1, Gigabit Ethernet (supporting PoE), and 40Pin GPIO, compatible with various peripherals and sensor modules. Furthermore, it features built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, enabling diverse wired and wireless connectivity options for quick integration in different deployment environments.
Multi-System Support and Developer-Friendly Ecosystem
The Cubie A7A supports Debian Linux, Tina Linux, Buildroot, and Android 13 industry version operating systems, compatible with mainstream AI frameworks (including ONNX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, TFLite, etc.), and provides an official NPU development toolchain and accompanying examples from Allwinner, significantly lowering the development and deployment barriers for AI applications. Additionally, the onboard RISC-V architecture XuanTie E902 co-processor can run RTOS real-time tasks, achieving low-power standby, real-time control, and secure boot functionalities, further enhancing system stability and security.
Collaborative Win-Win, Promoting Edge AI and Open Source Ecosystem Development
Radxa founder Tang Liang stated:
“Allwinner Technology has a deep accumulation in high-efficiency processor design and AI chip optimization, while Radxa has rich experience in single board computer design, hardware open ecosystem, and global developer community operation.
