Hi Adrian, Oh, I see. I'll look for some Intel based board with mPCIe. Maybe the Minnowboard Turbot, Up Squared or the AMD based PC Engines boards Ruben mentioned (thank you!). Since I'm still researching, I'd still like to continue searching for a single SoC solution as well. Do you know of any SoCs that're AR9280 based? Thank you!
