This is impressive work, and I would like to have this, or something like this.
A question is whether the amount of clever effort that went into working around constraints of the Pi Zero, would be enough to incorporate the Pi Zero aspects of this assembly into a single board?
Also, maybe not even an exact Pi, but using a RISC-V core and fully open firmware, even if less powerful at this time?
I actually do like the fact that it uses an existing Pi Zero board, even if much creativity is needed to add so much functionality to it in a small space. It reminds me of gopro cameras being taken apart and custom modules added to make it lightweight to use on small drones. I think this is a developing trend, leading to somewhat of an open source supply chain of creative applications for hardware devices. I think we benefit of the economies of scale of the Rpi boards already, just like we do from individual chips, so these custom boards ties that together nicely.
