Since documentation has been somewhat lacking... here is a quick write-up to get started!

So you want to run Klipper on your BIQU BX? Well too bad it's not supported.... but I do have some good news. I have a preliminary branch ready to submit to Klipper to support the BIQU BX. Here's what you need to know in order to get started.
NOTE: If you have a V3 board, click here
_**UPDATE: The Biqu BX is now supported in mainstream klipper!
NOTE: CAN will not work on this board due to a hardware mis-configuration
NOTE: I2C is not quite working yet!
If you decide to go ahead and install any of the custom firmware branches on your BX then you must read this guide before using it as it has been carefully written to cover the most common questions that users of the firmware have.
If you ask a question in the facebook group that is covered in this guide I'm going to scowl at you through my monitor and with three mighty waves of my finger declare "tsk, tsk, tsk".
This guide has been written to supplement the information within the main readme under the "Using the firmware on the BX" heading over here: https://github.com/looxonline/Marlin. Please make sure that you read both as they are equally important.
The BIQU BX is advertised as "RPi integrated". This statement can understandably cause a lot of confusion as to what it actually means. Some people have an expectation that it means that the pi will not need to connect to the front USB port of the machine. Others may have a different expectation.
The reality is that the integration comes in the form of a very clean mounting solution for the Pi combined with the ability to power and interface with the pi using the machine (touch interface). The USB port on the back of the TFT that connects to the pi does not offer a serial link back to the motherboard. It simply interfaces with a little MCU (CH554G) that translates the I2C signals from the touch controller on the TFT into signals that the pi can understand over USB. If you want the raspberry pi to communicate with the motherboard in order to send and receive commands (hint: you do) then you are still going to need a USB cable running from the pi to the micro USB po
So you have a BX but the fans are a bit too loud for you. Well I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news. There are ways to make the fans more quiet and in fact you can make them completely silent by turning them off when they are not needed. The bad news is that when the fans are needed you cannot avoid at least some noise.
Most of the noise from a fan is generated by rushing air and vibrations against the chassis of the machine. We will deal with the rushing air in the next part but for now let's talk about vibrations.
Congratulations on becoming a BX owner. You have in your posession one of the most capable 3D printers in its class with some unique features that you will not even find on other, more costly machines.
Despite the capabilities of the machine, it will only be able to perform well if you take the time to carefully ensure that the mechanics are well put together. Fortunately the BX is a very simple machine to assemble so if you follow this guide carefully you will not have any problems.
The BX comes with the frame already pre-assembled. All you will need to do is align it with the base and insert four bolts to hold it in place. Unfortunately the process involved in trimming the aluminium extrusions to length at the factory does not always result in a perfect, 90 degree cut. This means that after you fasten the uprights in place they may not be at 90 degrees to the base.
This is an initiative to create an overview of the issues found with the Creality CR-6 SE.
As of this writing (2020-09-19) the large number of the motherboard issues have not been publicly acknowledged. Hopefully this overview forces Creality to acknowledge the issues with the Creality CR-6 SE leveling free 3d printer.
According to Creality all issues should be resolved in the newer models:
Here are the improvements we did as below:
