WARNING! UNTESTED!
dwaves has not (YET) been given a free sample to review this SOC, armbian is supporting it, which is good: https://blog.armbian.com/friendlyelecs-nanopc-t6-plus-the-flagship-edge-computing-powerhouse-and-media-station/?ref=news-from-armbian-newsletter
(big question is: will BOTH LAN interfaces work reliably with ARMBIAN? because there seems to be some issues at least with the rockpi-e SoC as reviewed here)
what to do with HDMI IN?
HDMI IN port receives audio and video signals from external sources, allowing you to
display, capture, or pass through content. Common uses include connecting gaming consoles, streaming sticks, cable boxes, or cameras to a screen, PC, or capture card for viewing or recording (UNTESTED!)
interesting also the “9V / 20V” power supply… does this mean it will run from any power source in that range? possibly the much used 12V? 😀
which would make it a good camping router 😀
