Hi Michael, In mid-2020 I purchased a "Protectli FW4B CPU J3160 NIC x4" with Coreboot, and it worked with AstLinux out of the box.
The "V1210 – 2 Port Intel® N5105" should work (test to be sure) with the just released AstLinux 1.5.10 as it uses M.2 NVMe. AstLinux does not support eMMC storage (kernel CONFIG_MMC disabled). Supporting eMMC has been discussed, but being non-removable, slowish and typically of poor quality, it was never a production solution in my mind. [1] I recently purchased a "Silicon Power 128GB NVMe M.2" for $19 USD, a far better choice than non-removable eMMC. Even quality (stubby) USB storage "SAMSUNG FIT Plus 3.1 USB Flash Drive, 128GB" is $15 USD would be better than eMMC ... this would work with pre-1.5.10 AstLinux. With some caveats [2]. Lonnie [1] I have read where some Netgate appliances stopped booting because after a couple years the eMMC failed.
