Outside of that most of the work takes a lot of 'you are doing this yourself' to get working. The largest uptake for EL in  Aarch64 seems to be on Amazon Graviton systems and other cloud vendors.

From outside of that, the EspressoBin/Machiato https://espressobin.net/ may be the lowest amount of work.. but it is still going to be work.

This looks like a networks switch product, given the multiple LAN interfaces?

It is the only one I know of which has native SATA. Most of the other small boards just use USB as the data bus so even if they have SATA it is a device on the USB bus.

I used Cubietech and Odroid with native sata for arm32, and sure enough both have 64bit with sata:

Cubieboard6 and 7 Odroid HC4

The Odroid looks better than Cubie and at only $80 from Ameridroid

https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-hc4

and only 16w with active samba use from power benchmarks.  That is important to me.

I would be willing to get one for testing.  I have a Odroid hc1 that was a bit of a challenge to get Centos7-arm working on it, but did.

There is hope for the Odroid HC4: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=37675 This looks promising enough that I will order one; probably tomorrow.
