Try armbian. OpenWrt will not drive ai processor or video output, probably you want to take edge of those while gadget is new.

official dts-es here https://github.com/radxa/allwinner-device/tree/device-a527-v1.4.6/configs/cubie_a5e

    arm64: dts: allwinner: a523: add Radxa A5E support
    
    The Radxa A5E is a development board using the Allwinner A527 SoC, which
    is using the same die as the A523 SoC, just exposing the pins of more
    peripherals (like HDMI or the 2nd MAC). The board features:
    
      - Allwinner A527/T527 SoC: 8 ARM Cortex-A55 cores, Mali-G57 MC1 GPU
      - 1GiB/2GiB/4GiB LPDDR4 DRAM
      - AXP717 + AXP323 PMICs
      - Raspberry-Pi-2 compatible 40pin GPIO header
      - 1 USB 2.0 type C port (OTG), also power supply
      - 1 USB 3.0 type A host port (multiplexed with M.2 slot)
      - 1 M.2 M-key 2230 slot, with 1 PCIe2.1 lane connected (multiplexed
        with USB 3.0 port)
      - MicroSD slot
      - optional eMMC, 8, 16 or 32GB available
      - optional on-board 16MiB bootable SPI NOR flash
      - two 1Gbps Ethernet ports (via MAXIO MAE0621A PHYs)
      - PoE header for optional supply circuit on one Ethernet port
      - WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (LB-Link BL-M8800DS2 module using AIC8800)
      - HDMI port
      - camera and LCD connectors
      - power supply via USB-C connector (but no PD) or GPIO header pins

wifi should work with vendor images.

A question form my side.

Did the wifi work with 2.4/5GHz band and bluetooth in conjunction ?

wifi will 'never' work properly, there's no one working on a mainline driver for aic8000.

.. i know this :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

aic8800 is based on a Riveria Waves (which is now CEVA ?) IP

also Siflower SoC uses the same IP for their wifi, which I discoverd last weekend

the whole driver source is a mess.

.. I need some excuse to bang my head aganst the wall

There’s some activity over at the freebsd side for the A5E. Maybe the change files in the thread are useful?
