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.
