I have a couple of Gateworks Avila boards that at least boot. > On Oct 22, 2015, at 11:00 AM, Adrian Chadd <adrian.chadd@gmail.com> wrote: > > hi! > > The PC engines boards are your best bet to begin with.

Built-in storage (if any) can be small (which I’m arbitrarily defining as less than 128MB) if there is also an SD card slot or similar.
