I had one running with 14-STABLE, using u-boot some time ago. I can't 
remember whether HDMI worked; but I do remember that I could only get 
the onboard ethernet working. The PCIe ethernet I couldn't get working, 
even after tinkering with net/realtek-re-kmod. The speed wasn't quite 
Gigabit speeds, but decent - IIRC TCP offloading wasn't present.

It was a bit fiddly trying to load the eMMC with a bootable image.

Cheers.
