Identification

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find:

  • Model Number: A70H
  • Build Number: polaris_a70H-eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 20131228 test-keys

This image matches the android image used on the Ippo Q8H v2, which has a different case design.

Manual build

  • For building u-boot, use the "MANUFACTURER_DEVICE" target.
  • The .fex file can be found in sunxi-boards as MANUFACTURER_DEVICE.fex

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

FEL mode

The something button triggers FEL mode.

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

DEVICE UART pads

Device disassembly

Gently push the back cover outwards from the screen with your plastic tool. You should soon feel the clips pop. When closing back up, replace the connector side first.

Locating the UART

Verify the information below according to our UART howto.

There are 2 pads right next to the SoC. The one closest to the SoC is RX/TX, the other is RX/TX. Attach some wires according to our UART howto.

This hardware is sold under many guises. If it is claimed to be an A13 tablet but with a 4.2.2 android, then chances are that it is an A23 one instead.

Examples:

  • P100
  • A20h
  • Eken A70H
  • Eken X73

These are frequently mentioned:

But likely they are A70x. Note the micro HDMI port between the micro and normal USB ports on the A70x
