I love the PoE support! I wish more SBCs and even nuc/nuc-clones would start adding support! It’s nice being able to consolidate power supplies/deploying to places where only ethernet is present (which anyone can deploy legally unlike AC wires)

although not ideal, external gigabit POE splitters are ~10 euros

I wonder what graphics chip this is using?

This is super cool! It has a little bit of everything I'd want in a small project board - PoE, mini PCIe, RPi case compatibility, lots of RAM.

OpenBSD has some support for the StarFive chip, so perhaps this device could run OpenBSD in the future:

This MILK-V reposts are getting terious. Three new RISC-V boards, competing with forms of mATX (Pioneer), Pi Zero (Duo), and Pi (Mars). Pioneer[0][1][2][5], Duo [2][3][7][8], Mars [4][5][6] (and now this)

there are so many SBCs these days.

if you use them for hobby projects, many of them are fine.

if you ever want to convert your project to something commercial, I would still consider raspberry pi and beaglebone instead based on software maturity and community support and their ecosystem at large.

I really like NXP's i.MX6/8/9 chips, I wish there are some i.MX SBCs as popular as RPi and Beagles, for both hobby and commercial applications.
