getting to the finish line with MNT Reform Motherboard 3.0 (yeah, bumping the major rev). many little changes and cleanups today. for example the 5V supply rail size and capacitance for USB has been greatly increased. there's a new direct power header. there's a dip switch to select which console UART you want on USB-C PD port for debugging (plus System Controller UART). i'll probably add a qwiic (i2c) header for access by the SoC tomorrow.

I should also point out Fortinet's blog is about zero day vulnerabilities in a competitor's product being exploited by a nation state... which is exactly the same as the FortiManager situation they haven't disclosed publicly or privately given IOCs for.

@ryne @mntmn this. Bring them out somewhere near an edge and see what community does. Include a socket if cost allows.

I thing about them and how I've been doing professional "computer stuff" for like two and a half decades now and BOY does it feel like we're spinning pigeons a frightening amount of the time.
