ASL3, Allmon3, AllScan & Supermon 8+on the Radxa Cubie A7S

The compatibility investigation became a finished node and a repeatable guided installer. This A7S had no eMMC storage module, so microSD is the verified reference configuration.

The verified storage decision

No eMMC module. No compromise.

The model A7S used for this project did not include an eMMC storage module. Returning to microSD produced the completed, tested, and documented reference build.

Project overview

Radxa Cubie A7S

A certified-complete Radxa Cubie A7S build with Debian 13, ASL3, AllScan, Allmon3, Supermon 8+, and a guided installer—all verified from microSD storage.

FULL DUPLEX

Transmit and receive at the same time.

The USB communications interface supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation, making this a true full-duplex AllStarLink node—not merely a conventional simplex hotspot.
