The X-A1 (H5) is the high-end model in the X-A1 series of Project-X boards and is based on the AllWinner H5 SoC. Inside the H5 SoC is a quad core ARM Cortex-53 CPU and an ARM Mali 450 GPU. This is a great based platform for anyone looking at building a device that needs basic 4K video output, but also for a wide range of other applications, such as IoT gateways, basic network attached appliances, various forms of controllers or other types of custom devices built around Linux. It does of course come with our RPi hat adapter as standard, which allows you to use RPi hats with the Project-X boards, to help you get started with your development faster.
