Hardwarespecifications:

Was the MT7986AV, MT7976DA combo considered? Has 4x4 for office 
applications (MU-MIMO), so might be useful for corporate or soho use.

It also has more horse power to run some local services


That would be the BPi R3-Mini. if you need that extra HP, please grab 
that unit.






* DRAM: 1 GiB DDR4


What's the price difference with 2GB? For home automation purposes and 
other virtualisation applications it might come in handy. 


1GB is recommended and well tested. We will probably get engineering 
samples and test with 2GB

Agreed, however as it needs to last for a long period of time, it should 
not be too under powered.

other virtualisation applications it might come in handy.



* Flash: 128 MiB SPI NAND+ 4 MiB SPI NOR
* Ethernet: 2x RJ45 (2.5 GbE + 1 GbE)
* USB (host): USB 2.0 (Type-A port)
* USB (device, console): Holtek HT42B534-2 UART to USB (USB-C port)


Great idea!


* Storage: M.2 2042 for NVMe SSD (PCIe gen 2 x1)
* Buttons: 2x (reset + user)
* Mechanical switch: 1x for boot selection (recovery, regular)
* LEDs: 2x (PWM driven), 2x ETH Led (GPIO driven)
* External hardware watchdog: EM Microelectronic EM6324 (GPIO driven)
* RTC: NXP PCF8563TS (I2C) with battery backup holder(CR1220)
* Power: USB-PD-12V on USB-C port (optional802.3at/afPoE via RT5040 module)
* Expansion slots: mikroBUS
* Certification: FCC/EC/RoHS compliance
* Case: PCB size is compatible to BPi-R4 and the case design can be re-used
* JTAG for main SOC: 10-pin 1.27 mm pitch (ARM JTAG/SWD)


Nice to have the connector, would be great if a supported USB JTAG 
adapter could be supplied as an option.



* Antenna connectors: 3x MMCX for easy usage, assembly and durability
* Schematics: these will be publicly available (license TBD)
* GPL compliance: 3b. "Accompany it with a written offer ... to give any 
third party ... a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding 
source code"

* Price: aiming for below 100$



Or just have 1 or 2 existing Banana Pi boards with OpenWRT branding? The 
schematics are not really making much difference for most people. Having 
all SW FOSS does.



Bas.

I'm now imaging a case, literally in the shape of the letters "OpenWRT!!!".
(The !!! are the three antenna)
