It looks pretty nice and the .Net part seems to be pretty good. However the Omega 2+ runs Linux, has twice the Mhz and 4x RAM for much less money... https://onion.io/store/omega2p/ . Perhaps that is why it seems to be sold out at the moment.

We've taken a very different approach. We run a micro RTOS, not linux. This is for real embedded work. For context see: https://blog.usejournal.com/the-future-is-tiny-44dea02e4517

With that, you have to run Linux, which you might not want.

This is probably running ucLinux to run Mono. I think the bigger issue with the Onion is you can't change the firmware (or at least I got the impression the last time I looked).

Onion Omega2+ is available in `make menuconfig` on current OpenWRT git master. I have not checked older builds.
