That's similar to the EDM module that wandboards use: http://www.technexion.com/products/edm/edm-som/edm1-cf-imx6 You can buy the EDM modules directly from Technexion if you're willing to buy quantity, or through resellers like Digikey. The EDM modules from technexion are compatible with the wandboard carrier boards, so you can use a few cheap wandboards as devel and eval boards (or you can buy the overpriced "fairyboard" carrier from technexion that has PCIe connectors that wandboard lacks). We're using these modules at $work, and that's basically the path I took... I started with a wandboard and got freebsd running on it, and once it got past the proof of concept stage (the minimum set of drivers for the imx6 devices we need, and reasonable freebsd stability -- I had a board running a stress test with 2 months of uptime) we designed our own motherboards with EDM sockets on them. -- Ian
