> Another feature request/suggestion for this site: Quantity of ethernet ports.

More than quantity, I'd like to see actual bandwidth, though I'm not sure how to boil it down to one field. I'd like if I could click something to weed out boards that have Gigabit Ethernet and hard drives on the same USB 2.0 bus, like the Raspberry Pi 2. [1] This info seems a little hard to track down, so it'd be handy if someone put it in a nice database like this, especially if there were citations to verify it.

It'd also be nice if I could search for a specific CPU/GPU/etc model or chipset (e.g. Cortex-A72 rockchip rk3399), GPU, etc. But I think there aren't so many matches that I can't do this myself on anything that's a possibility.

Oh, also DSPs. I think there are some SBCs that have the Hexagon 680, which I've considered as a way of doing some computer vision stuff. The only ones I found were really expensive, though (e.g. the InForce 6640). and/or ISPs (image signal processors). Really, any type of coprocessor or hardware accelerator is worth pointing out...

One thing to watch out for with the Hexagon on the Snapdragon 820: while there are a bunch of modules from the likes of Inforce that run Linux, not all of the 820 features are supported on Linux, including Hexagon last time I checked. Some features are only supported on Android at this time.
