Orange Pi PC and other 32 bit ARM boards

My work began with the the H3 chip via the Orange Pi PC. The Orange Pi PC Plus has become my favorite because of the onboard eMMC.

Don't confuse the PC Plus with the Plus (as I often do). I wish the Orange Pi people would select less confusing names! The Plus (which I do no have) also uses the H3 chip, but has Gigabit ethernet and SATA.

The PC Plus does not simply add eMMC. It also adds Wifi, although I never use it and probably never will. by adding an external PHY. Both the PC and PC plus use the 10/100 PHY internal to the H3 chip.
