Pine tends to be a "Let's make something...90% of the way!" company.
I've had some of their SBCs, they've always been almost there but not quite, or not at all. I'm hesitant to even consider something like this.
I agree entirely. They sort of kind of make stuff sometimes then kind of just say "Good enough, we are done with that one. On to the next".
They also have not been able to get the kind of community adoption that some SBC's have so there is not much of a push to keep them going.
They seem to be all about pushing out the most stuff. Perhaps if they concentrated on a few items and made them better, they'd have more adoption.
I can't use something when basic features like the Ethernet port are broken.
