Nice one, thx. I've also found https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4/ that could do the trick I think. With a low-power idle (~3 W) a nice bios/support but a bit more expensive (and maybe one day a coreboot). H4+ and ultra may have some troubles with SATA and OpenBSD (but not with FreeBSD). H4 doesn't have SATA so it could be OK.
