Raspberry Pi 4 PCIe bridge “chip”

I've always been a fan of the iMX line - they're my goto reference designs for low volume embedded work along with STM32Fx for MCUs - but the BSPs are just not comparable for hobbyists.

With RaspPi you can download an SD card image fully set up with a simple "wpa_supplicant.conf" for WiFi and a Bounjour discovery service to register a hostname like 'pi.local'. Takes like an hour with a crappy connection and then another hour at most for apt-get update. Need to hook a security camera? Download a prebuilkt MotionEyeOS image. Need to control a CNC with GCode and a .Net core API? Grab the Duet 3 and a raspberry pi.

If you can use Multistrap then all you need is a linux kernel and you can build a full Debian system for your Linux chip.
