   MNT Reform Next motherboard with RCORE RK3588 module says hello! powered by USB-C PD, booted Linux from MicroSD and then encrypted NVMe, and is online via Ethernet

     @mntmn Woah this is so small compared to motherboard 2.5! Nice! 👍
     I know that there are two more side-panel boards missing but you could arrange those vertically and have a nice stand-alone computer without the strange form-factor that motherboard 2.5 requires.

     @josch maybe we can have luxury matte black flex cables or something

     @josch eeek! there are definitely caveats. i think we'll later go the route of custom flex PCBs that have a ground plane, otherwise, if i'm not mistaken, passing high speed differential signals through a 1-layer cable is not a good idea

     @mntmn It's very nice to see that all of this flex cable spaghetti works out. I remember that with the Openmoko Neo 1973 there were problems (and my memory is a bit foggy after all this years) where some of the PCB lanes were too close together so that the display driver had to be tweaked such that it was only allowed to draw to the screen when nothing was transferred to eMMC and the SD-card was interfering with the GPS when data got transferred to it...

     @mntmn Looking forward to having that chip whenever you get it working for the pocket device. Looks like it will be on par with Intel's N100. And that's pretty damn impressive for ARM64 even.
