Yikes. I like Framework (have had one for a few years now) but this is not what I expect from them at all.
Once they drop this requirement and get to normal (removable) memory and storage I'd pay double this though!
Is this a Framework, or Deep Computing requirement?
It appears to be a Deep Computing produced board that matches the Framework specification.
That's a great point. I suppose Framework wasn't necessarily the one to push for this.
The fact that they are fine with holding approval authority implicates them in my mind. Though, I guess this is tougher when form factors are open source and all parts are very easy to find. DeepComputing can kind of make whatever they want (with whatever restrictions they want) and naturally be associated with Framework's brand.
The memory isn't really doable with this SOC, but the storage is just an SD card slot on the motherboard. (I saw this and spoke to the CEO at this year's Ubuntu Summit.)
