I was an early adopter of Hardkernel's Odroids, for better (size, performance:cost) and for worse (longevity).
This looks like a winner in every way.
x86_64 for longevity and support, tested with Ubuntu $latest LTS
decent CPU, better than Raspberry Pi
RAM up to 64GB, two SO-DIMM slots, up to 32GB per slot
M.2 NVMe storage
2 x 2.5Gbit Ethernet ports
2 x SATA 3.0 ports
Intel UHD Graphics, HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 video outputs
- moffkalast 4y agoNot only that, but after some digging it seems that the GPIO header is actually not half bad either despite it being somewhat small: https://wiki.odroid.com/_detail/odroid-h3/hardware/h3_24pinmap.png?id=odroid-h3%3Ahardware%3Aio_expansion_gpio https://wiki.odroid.com/_detail/odroid-h3/hardware/h3_24pinm... Supports i2c, UART, USB, and hopefully manual pin control too. That's already miles ahead of a NUC in terms of interfacing.

All pins are single-function, USB pins are almost never switchable (because they're high-speed analog-ish PHY functions), and UART & I2C are not GPIO-capable functions on most x86 platforms.
- moffkalast 4y agoWell that sucks if true, but at least an i2c GPIO expander/servo board is not out of the question I guess.
