I am not currently using the Q170 chipset but am ordering a Supermicro board with the same chipset shortly here. That's the business oriented Skylake chipset. I can also confirm that the Intel i210 and i219 Ethernet controllers work just fine. The i219 is on my ThinkPad X260 and most other Skylake boards and the i210 is working fine on multiple server boards I have. The Core i7 6700TE is a low power (35W TDP) and embedded variant which should also work just fine. You will not be using X I presume so lack of inteldrm(4) for Skylake will not make any difference. Even if you did, efifb(4) (via UEFI booting) and wsfb(4) would work fine. That system looks quite interesting and should work nicely. Bryan
