(Martin Schröder directed me here. Just wanted to kindly humbly get a
general idea as I not saw any discussion of ARM64 anywhere I read, until
now. Thanks a lot.)
The market is finally being flooded with ARM64:s. And some of them are
inexpensive.
I guess AllWinner A64/H64 will be the most ubiquitous one as the chip
is/soon will be something like 5 USD.
Boards should be on the market for 15 USD this year I think. If you need
SATA or PCIe the same figure is something like 150 USD. See a listing
below.
What about running OpenBSD on these, do you have any idea when this
should be possible?
Thanks,
Tinker
* I suppose the AllWinner A64 (and the AllWinner H64 which is
essentially the
same chip) will be the very most popular.
One board is https://www.pine64.org/ (15 USD for 512MB variant, 30
USD for
2GB variant), released fairly soon. Another upcoming is "Nobel64".
1x gigabit ethernet. No SATA. USB 2. No PCIe.
(Correction: 1x 100mbit on the cheapest variant.)

* Amlogic S905 is one that's actually on the market already. The Odroid
C2 (40
USD) deploys it,

.
Not sure how popular that one will be in the longer term though.
