Someone would just like to have a low cost and low performance board for
applications where for example you want Haiku to be just an host and an
external hardware do some processing on data. It's just a reality that x86
devices are too expensive, complex and consume a lot of power for the aim.
Also, this kind of boards come out with gpio ecc. capabilities which make
those devices a lot useful for create-your-product purposes. Sometimes it
is more cheaper and/or powerful to have a spi dac.
I know Haiku is a Desktop OS, but a my personal opinion is that it could
perform very well in embedded situations or when you just want to customize
it as the os of your product. Please reconsider the future potential of
Haiku in this fragment. This is not a question of how Haiku could perform
well compared to linux in a Raspberry, but how many the potential of the os
could be expanded to fit new sectors and non believed use-cases.
