I was attracted by the specs of the previous version of this board, but the software side was a real mess. I screwed around with it quite a bit, but ended up giving up on them.

The company didn't have a reasonable, up to date kernel. Everything was out of date, and they were seemingly incapable of doing it. MediaTek people stepped in, because the board was getting press as a reference for how people could use their SOC. It was still not usable as a router. For example, while there is WiFi on the board, there is no Linux WiFi driver, only an Android driver. And other weird things that I forget right now.

Maybe things have improved, but definitely take care on this.
