Nice!

Now we just need a PI with a lot more RAM and better SSD support.

As far as I know of, it is the ONLY properly publicly-supported ARM board!

And from my recent interactions with proprietary-land, apparently the expensive NDA-covered support from most ARM chip vendors is generally pretty shoddy-to-non-existant too!

If only! Unfortunately the 1G limit is set by the VideoCore system of the SOC. That will need an upgrade first.
Then solder in a nice big chunk of than new Intel NV-ram stuff for lots of XIP goodness!

I think DragonBoard 410c is also supported, as are a number of older boards from ARMv5 era.
