(the little endian patches are in preparation for upstreaming…) It does cost more than the EdgeRouter3/Lite though.
If you are doing ‘tiny’ stuff then maybe check out boards like carambola2 or VoCore which are big endian 32bit but do not have the capacity (I believe – RAM or flash etc.) to run Debian. OK for OpenWRT though etc.

Board is announced and ‘request a board’ page is now active on imgtec.com – you can find a link from the elinux.org CI20 pages. Currently you can ‘only’ get them for free though (if you have a project etc.) – not yet for purchase…
