The pricing direct from PC Engines is roughly 2x to 3x the cost of certain cheap, popular ARM boards. It's on par or lower than the pricing of the higher end ARM boards (some of which are supported in the armv7 port) > 2) How is the OpenBSD experience on the APU systems, do they have serial > RS232 console (serial BIOS), do they expose all the hardware to OpenBSD? > Everything is exposed. The serial console requires boot.conf setup, and Bob Beck recently fixed some aggressive behaviour in the boot loader so that it no longer prints garbage characters on the screen during the 'set tty com0' transition. Thank you Bob for spending the time to track this annoying behaviour down ! Chris
