What

Fix two issues on the Cubie A7Z docs:

  1. The Micro HDMI tutorial page (docs/cubie/a7z/hardware-use/microhdmi.md)
    was still describing the A7A's full-size HDMI port. Every reference to
    the product and interface pointed at the wrong board.
  2. The Quick Start "With Display" section (docs/cubie/a7z/getting-started/quickly-start.md)
    told users to connect the monitor with a "USB-C to HDMI / DP cable",
    which is not how the A7Z exposes display output.

Changes

docs/cubie/a7z/hardware-use/microhdmi.md (and English counterpart)

  • Cubie A7ACubie A7Z
  • HDMI (in the introductory paragraph, the interface-location tip, and
    the usage guide) → Micro HDMI

docs/cubie/a7z/getting-started/quickly-start.md (and English counterpart)

  • "With Display" sentence: replace the USB-C to HDMI/DP wording with the
    correct A7Z options: the on-board Micro HDMI port or a USB-C
    cable that supports DP Alt mode
    .

Both Chinese and English docs are updated in the same commit, so the
CN/EN sync guard stays green.

Why

The A7Z and A7A share a similar product family but expose different
display connectors: A7A has a full-size HDMI port, A7Z has a Micro HDMI
port plus a USB-C port that supports DP Alt mode. The current A7Z docs
pages still inherit the A7A text verbatim, which misleads users about
both the product and the required cable.

Impact

  • Anyone reading the A7Z Micro HDMI tutorial will see the correct
    product name and the correct interface name.
  • Anyone following the A7Z Quick Start will know they can plug a
    monitor into the board's Micro HDMI port, or use a DP-Alt-mode
    USB-C cable, instead of looking for a non-existent USB-C to HDMI/DP
    cable.
  • No images, sidebar positions, or surrounding structure were changed.
  • The screenshot path inside the Micro HDMI tutorial still points to
    cubie/a7a/a7a-hdmi-display.webp because the captured UI
    (Applications → Settings → Display → Resolution / Scale / Apply) is
    shared with the A7A family and no dedicated A7Z screenshot exists
    yet. A follow-up can swap it once an A7Z screenshot is available.

Verification

Local checks:

  • bash scripts/agent-doc-translation-guard.sh → passed (CN/EN both
    updated).
  • bash scripts/agent-doc-drift-guard.sh → passed.
  • bash scripts/agent-doc-lint.sh --files <the four files> → passed.

Pages affected:

…rify display connection in quick start

The a7z Micro HDMI tutorial page (docs/cubie/a7z/hardware-use/microhdmi.md)
was still describing the A7A's full-size HDMI port, with every reference
to the product and interface pointing at the wrong board. Update both the
product name (Cubie A7A -> Cubie A7Z) and the interface name (HDMI ->
Micro HDMI) in the introductory paragraph, the interface location tip,
and the usage guide. Mirror the same wording changes in the English
counterpart under i18n/en.

Also refresh the 'With Display' section of the a7z quick start page
(quickly-start.md) so it no longer instructs users to connect the
monitor via a USB-C to HDMI/DP cable. A7Z exposes a Micro HDMI port and
supports USB-C DP Alt mode, so state both options explicitly. Same
fix applied to the English counterpart.
