This looks like an awesome upgrade. These are the biggest highlights to me:
>The Ethernet controller on the main SoC is connected to an external Broadcom PHY over a dedicated RGMII link, providing full throughput. USB is provided via an external VLI controller, connected over a single PCI Express Gen 2 lane, and providing a total of 4Gbps of bandwidth, shared between the four ports.
>we’re using the Mesa “V3D” driver developed by Eric Anholt [...] It also eliminates roughly half of the lines of closed-source code in the platform.
