It also will not boot Windows 10 IOT. What did work was Raspian Noobs. Of note is the faster boot time and faster web loading. I have not messed with configuring I2c or SP1 or Uart.</p>

Why is SparkFun charging the extra $4.95?</p>

I'd add to the description that while the Ethernet hardware supports 1Gbit, throughput is effectively limited to <strong>~200-330Mbit</strong> by the USB 2.0 bus. Still, that's up to 3x the Raspberry pi 3. (USB 3.x in a hypothetical future model would help, but apparently doesn't yet fit into the $35 BoM.)<p>Wi-Fi adds 5GHz band, and this new version is also an <strong>FCC-compliant</strong> radio module, making it easier to <strong>commercialize your pi-based project!</strong></p><p>More nerdy discussion here:
