None of the players here seem to have much to say for themselves. Not Broadcomm (maker of RPi cpu) nor Rockchip (maker of opi cpu) nor RPi nor opi. RPi has had some very dedicated mostly independent contributors dragging things along. I think a couple have received some small sums for their work from the producing companies but miniscule amounts compared to the work. OPi seems further behind and again reliant on volunteer forces. It's just so damned sad. Also sad: the best arm boards available for under say $500 are some chips announced 2018 (Cortex A76). Even with Intel flat out not shipping new nodes for half a decade, they still have steadier better delivery pipeline than arm.
