Conclusive Engineering says mainline Linux is supported, FreeBSD 13 support is available upon request, and U-boot, UEFI EDK2, and Arm Trusted Firmware are also supported. There should eventually be a customer portal and a wiki with “manuals, datasheets, prebuilt OS images and other useful information”, but all that is currently shown as “coming soon“.

The WHLE-LS1 networking SBC is offered with 16GB eMMC flash directly from the company’s store for prices ranging from $399 to $579 depending on the selected processors. The leadtime is said to be 14 weeks. More details, including a 54-page datasheet, can be found on the product page.
