pcDuino 8 / Arches
The board is more or less a copycat of the Merrii A80 Optimus board, with the difference that this one has NAND, instead of Optimus's eMMC. The board also goes by the alias of “Arches”, above the original PCDuino 8 name.
WARNING: the PcDuino8-Uno and the PcDuino8-STB are H8-based boards, which is not supported yet.
