I think the most interesting point about this board is that it is
a rather inexpensive arm64.
That said, the remaining parameters don't match up for a 64bit system,
so I guess it is just good for the purpose of doing arm64 as such.
But from what I've read the official images for the board are just
running a 32bit Linux kernel.
