Right, I was involved with something a few years ago that used a
Glomation ARM board with ethernet, and an Rpi2 (not available then),
Odroid, Beaglebone etc. would have been great for that as well.  At the
other end there are those tiny MCU things, also useful.  In between is
the Pi0 and I still haven't figured out a good use for one.  The GA144
was sort of similar, only more so.
