Also they resell IP that is not theirs to give away, sadly. They are working on putting this chip in workstation class hardware, and when they do it will support PCIe, DDR4, USB3, etc. using off the shelf solutions they have licensed and integrated.

I hope that over time they, or partners, or others, will develop open source alternatives to these IP blocks. So that we can gradually increase the level of openness

Will this all be on a SOC? Are these plans public?

It'd be great to get some single board computers on the market based on this architecture...
