I would like to present an interresting mksoc candidate I have, been able to
do some prelimonary evasstigations on:

http://zedboard.org/product/ultra96

Cpu wise in same club as the Rpi3 and Beagleboard X15

Same price as the x15 if you import from usa:
my import clause for 
consideration(https://drive.google.com/open?id=16r6Bn-AeZ5RZyROAEXuPaOLFylihsUVm):

Fpga fabric ~4x DE10 Nano roughly.
I/O wise 16 1.8v I/O out of the box + High speed mezaine + ??

A 3.3v/5v adaptor (audio mezz..) is still available for $5 incl freight 
(ask).

Mali 400 Gpu.

Unique for its price class.... 

First it finally gave me the oppertunity to get started with Vivado 
(2018.2), and
this has been a very pleasent experience as I find it much mor mature, 
comprehensive and informative
than the Altera based tools sill available.

The ultra96 comes with petalinux based upon yocto/ openembedded.

Via my build script(s) I have also been able to get it running Debian 
stretch and Ubuntu bionic,
with 14xx kernel however only with software framebuffer as the Mali 400 gpu 
drivers are wierd. 

On the interesting node I have initiated a request at the danish Xilinx 
distributors seeking a license to be able to do partial reconfiguration of 
the fpga part in an open source environment.
This is where the ultra96 board would be very interesting to play with in 
an embedded setup. 
As you then can swap audio dsp functionality/in and out live in a modular 
fashion..... 
Very best wishes
