There are a few tools that do this, such as Ramiel and Pyboot although I've not had much success with them myself when tether downgrading my iPhone X. Kept getting errors

Could Checkm8 A5 lead to a jailbreak?
I haven't tested this on any A5 devices so I can't say for certain if it works, but it is actually possible to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 using checkm8 pwned DFU mode — at least that's what I did on my iPad 4. Since you're on A5, enter pwned DFU as normal using your Arduino Uno + host shield. Now download the irecovery source from here and compile (git clone, ./autogen.sh, make, & sudo make install).

[Tutorial] Updating an A12 device to 14.3 with futurerestore on Windows
IMPORTANT NOTE: if FR exits before the restore begins, your device may get stuck in recovery mode. FR's built in "--exit-recovery" option doesn't work, so in order to get out, you have to use "irecovery -n"
What are some alternatives?
When comparing PyBoot and libirecovery you can also consider the following projects:
