Libre Computer La Frite (AML-S805X-AC)
La Frite is Libre Computer’s low-profile S805X board in the Raspberry Pi 3 A+ footprint, launched on Kickstarter in October 2018 from $10. It boots UEFI firmware from its SPI NOR flash and has no microSD slot. Storage is an eMMC module, or USB through UEFI. It is supported with mainline Linux until 2048. Its successor is the Das Frite.
