While its ARMv8, it lacks CRC and Crypto extensions. That's interesting. Having almost given up on any AMD ARM hardware ever appearing, I've been considering getting a Gigabyte MP30-AR0 (which I thought for a long time was vapourware, but it seems does really exist to buy); it's based on the same x-gene as the Mustang. But this suble instruction set difference is worrying; will I discover in a few years that the baseline requirements for Debian arm64, or something else, exclude this device? Cheers, Phil.
