What arm64-based affordable boards are there, and where they can be bought?
I'm asking for a friend, and he's probably after something to run Linux/Unix on.
There has been discussions about Juno-boards, but I couldn't figure out where they can be bought and what's the price.
@turboscrew, just curious; what's the embedded end-application that requires 64-bit ARMv8 processing?
You could add a simple USB-->Ethernet dongle to one of the two USB2.0 ports that come on the 96boards
spec 410c for wired-LAN connectivity. Not sure if there are mezzanine cards that interface to the high-speed
connector on the board to provide you additional functionality.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a low-cost but high performance 32-bit ARMv7 board, the Snapdragon 600
based Inforce 6410Plus may fit the bill. It costs only $149, includes a starter kit and comes with a full range of
connectivity options. You have a choice of either an Android or Linaro Linux BSP.
cheers,

The computing power in not the point here. The architecture is.
To my understanding my friend has written some new stuff for FreeBSD and he is after a 64-bit ARM for testing.
I think this time some networking enhancements.
(He sometimes participates in the FreeBSD development.)
turbo i will pleased to meet him
Jerome, are you involved with FreeBSD too?
I won't put my friend's name here, but it is found here: 8. Additional FreeBSD Contributors
