DeskPi Super6C CM4 board with the SOQuartz

[gadgeteer]

Hello all,

I've recently taken delivery of a DeskPi Super6C motherboard that can house 6x RPi CM4 on one side, and 6x NVMe SSD on the other side: https://deskpi.com/collections/deskpi-su...-supported

The CM4s are still hard to come by, and so I was thinking about trying to get one of the SOQuartz integrated with this mini-ITX sized host board. Before I buy a bunch of SOQuartz though I wanted to ask if the community thought this a crazy idea or not?

I'm very happy hacking around with Manjaro (I use it as a daily driver on my personal machine), and using serial access to machines, playing around with dts files, kernels, and so on for embedded, so don't think there's a huge issue there for me. I note that a few people are collaborating on SOQuartz on RPi CM4 host boards already: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry...issues/336

Does anyone have any strong feelings on my above pairing at all? Is it a worthwhile project?

(Background: I'm looking to build a relatively low power multi-node cluster for lightweight Ubuntu (and Ceph) eventually with BYOH Kubernetes on top.)

Thanks in advance for all opinions and advice.

Hey Adam,

Just wondering if you tried the SOQuartz modules on the Super6C mobo, and if so how it went?  Seems like it would be a lot of fun.

Thanks!
