All the interfaces were successfully tested. All the features are working.
The first batch was sent to the first users (8 boards).
You can check my github page (for technical details) and twitter account (for the current project status).

Project is under development - I ordered PCBs and assembly for passive components.
I will receive PCBs boards in 3 weeks (up to the end of Feb), due to the Chinese new year.
Then I need about 1-2 weeks for assembly rest components (ICs, connectors) and to bring up hardware.
Here is the 3D model in PDF format and STEP file:

The hardest thing in this project is the PCIe M.2 slot implementation. I'm not sure for 100% if this will work but it seems that the design should be OK.
I would like to test SSD NMVe drives and Coral Edge TPU modules.
Target applications:
· Machine learning platform (Coral Edge TPU)
· Cloud computing
· NAS server
· BOINC client
· Small server
· Home automation controller
· Smart controller
· HiFi media player (Volumio, RuneAudio)
· Home media center (OSMC, OpenELEC, XBMC/Kodi)
· and many more...
I also would like to buy a couple of boards to test them. I'd buy more units if they work for my project as I think. Thanks.
