If you like Debian+FPGA+arm32 and embedding then balloonboard3 is another worth considering: http://balloonboard.org/ It's quite a capable board (specs are here: http://www.iendian.com/), but the FPGA variant is relatively high power at about 2W, CPLD version much lower. It's also open (ish) hardware, and all the devs use Debian/Emdebian so that works nicely. It doesn't have wifi built in either. We've used CF-card wifi cards for that functionality, but it could also be done via USB. It has a 16-bit bus coming out of the CPLD/FPGA which you can use as you see fit. We've hung the NAND plus other special purpose (e.g. display) peripherals off it.
