Now all that needs is a small SPI flash chip with u-boot on it so you can't brick the thing without really trying :^)

Nice. Out of curiosity what will you be using those for?

Hehe, glad you asked. One will become a laptop: Taped to the back of my portable LCD screen and soldered to a 5V regualtor powered by RC helicopter batteries (which I have plenty of). This will be my 5th attempt at that. The first one (RPi 1B) burnt up when I connected the battery the wrong way. The last one (Nitrogen6x) didn't tolerate my harsh use and developed a bad screen connector.

The other is for backup in case it gets sold out. I get enthusiastic when I see an SBC with the right GPU for once, and the CPU is spectre/meltdown safe.
