    Interesting. Would be nicer to just have 2 SO-DIMM slots instead, but 16GB would work ok for many use cases. 8GB definitively is limiting for a lot of developers.

    Also shame it doesn't have DB9 (or two) for RS-232 directly on the back IO shield, with integrated level shifters and such. That would be nice. As would be BMC with own Ethernet port, so the board can be rebooted or recovered remotely. This is useful feature for automated testing.

    Still, it looks interesting. Performance of course is going to be really low, but still capable system for development and testing.

    I wonder if it supports UEFI? Product Brief only says U-SDK "OpenSBI / U-Boot / Linux Kernel", and E-SDK (bare metal). If it requires device tree files, then I hate it already.
