[arm-allstar] new Raspberry Pi board

[Doug Crompton]

Before anyone gets too enthused about this new board remember its
limitations. It only has one USB port, no Ethernet, and 512K of RAM and it
is only $10 cheaper than the 3B+. If you absolutely need the smaller size
and it is not greatly smaller, then I suppose it would be OK but for the
average user go for the 3B+.  For Allstar you will need an HDMI monitor and
a USB keyboard to set this up and then you would have to setup wireless and
ssh in via wireless to setup the FOB. Of course you could put a USB hub on
it but that would defeat the whole purpose. So don't be cheap, Just get a
3B+ and save the hassle.
