Thanks Lonnie. When you posted this I approached the manufacturer for a EMC Compliance tests which they have now just completed. I think the serial will be a minor annoyance only. I like the nice big heatsink! Not sure where I am going to put my IPC Solutions sticker though (. I don't think it will fit above the power button.
I will buy one to play with. Goody more toys.

Could be I had a marginal RAM stick. It has been running 24/7 . A very professional looking box, customers will be impressed. The only negative is no serial port, but enabling our "USB TTY Serial Login" feature easily allows serial CLI access *after* it has properly booted. You need to use the VGA port for console access *during* boot and RUNNIX access. https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:usbtty_serial_login Note: As with many boards, if the the VGA port is not connected to a monitor at boot you can't latter attach it and see the console, you must boot with the monitor attached to use the VGA port. Not just a Qotom thing. Here in the US the barebone price is $125 + $34 shipping on Amazon, slightly less expensive via AliExpress. Given it is directly shipped from China, any sort of return would be mostly eaten in shipping costs so if you planned on 1 out of 10 might be a bad unit you could price that into the cost. A good value IMHO.
