You can get hold of them relatively easily via aliexpress and there was a crowdfunded 'tinker' board variant out :http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3399/en In addition to the rockchip board any of the sunxi - allwinner boards have had a lot of mainline support added over the last 6 months. Most of the easily available boards are all geared towards HTPC applications however. My current interest is in the c3xxx platform which FINALLY has enough oomph to do duplex 20gbit and can be had with SFP+ equipped variants. Lately most of the testing work I have been doing has been with the thunderbolt3 network driver in net-next (and which I think is tagged for inclusion with 4.15) which gives you 10-40gbit networking mostly hasslefree. -Joel On 4 December 2017 at 06:44, Dave Taht wrote: > I have gone through a lot of hackerboards in the last few years. > > I had multiple goals for them - primarily I wanted cheap and > cheap-to-power wifi and ethernet test targets.
