H5 ARM SOC with only 1GB of DDR3
linux-sunxi.org/H5
Enough to run Linux and LCNC, but not much room left for back plots, still OK.

Along with an onboard STM32 for Remora.
US$37.00 - 68.97

The H5 supports up to 3GB of DDR3. I'll have to see if the PCB layout will allow for larger devices to be swapped vs a new layout required.

The issue with most of those all in one boards is how connect to the STM from the SOC. Most of them use only UART connections, and do not breakout, or make available the useable SPI pins. The way mellow does their pin layouts, they use the SPI channels for other things that we would need for remora, most of their boards were not really useable for the way we do remora. The BTT Manta works similar, but has the RPI header and STM spi pins broken out, which would make it useable by using jumper wires.

The Mellow SBC looked nice because it has dedicated SPI connector on board.
Makerbase also has an allwinner SBC out also

Bari, any thoughts on the CB1? looks like some of the issues were fixed, but their image is still early stages.

> but not much room left for back plots, still OK.

I have a solution for this, but I need some help from the allwinner crowd. I have already started porting the backplot from TKlinuxcnc, which is done purely in Tk canvas widget, to become an axis low quality preview tab. (if anyone knows how I can just pack the TCL file tkbackplot, into axis with out any work that would be cool)
I was hoping someone with an allwinner sbc could run the Tklinuxcnc GUI and tell me if the backplot actually loads or not. I seemed fine on the beaglebone last time I checked, but if someone could let me know, I will continue.

We are looking into the H616 source. We would build a tailored u-boot for best latency and no speed stepping, etc etc. Will update when we have more info.

Please post some high res close up pics of both sides of the boards that you currently have if possible. Maybe the SPI jumpers or other mods will be easy, lets investigate.

Thank you in advance!

If the IO boards with the STM32's stay available I can spin a H616 or similar board with 2GB or more of RAM to plug into them.
