The links I see above provide a lot of random links and information
but it seems to be a confusing mish-mash of stuff. Useful for someone
who is extremely technical but not to a school which wants an off the
shelf experience that just works.

Somethings are HW or closed source drivers so I don't believe it would
be possible to get a reasonable, reproducible QAed experience that
would be of decent performance on a reproducible platform.

If we want to look at a platform where we can produce a consistent
nice platform I would suggest the Beagle Bone black where we can
produce and image to fix on the onboard eMMC or something like the
bottom end Cubox-i where each could cost less than $50 and be a
consistent controllable experience.

Well it would be likely similar performance to an XO-1.... which is TERRIBLE!
