I do thoroughly enjoy my RPis, but even though we’re supposedly heading towards the shortage ending in late 2023, availability of the normal boards feels as it continues to dwindle further. The A53 is about 1/2 - 2/3rds of the performance of the A72 *(depending on the task), so it’s no slouch. At $100 it’s certainly not cheap, but the feature set of the board is packed. Moreover, you can buy one in a straightforward manner.

Not only that, it's also Open Source Hardware. You can find all the design documents here: https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleplay/beagleplay https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleplay/beagleplay Unlike RPi: https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/issues/2233 https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/issues/2233 "The Raspberry Pi is not open source. However, reduced schematics are made available on a best efforts basis."
