Hi,

I am new and did not introduce myself but we are working on some zigbee
project and would like to use A10 processors for some applications we will
have. One application that we will use is gateway between web and zigbee
networks. For this we will use board similar to yours but with zigbee
module. Zigbee modul is connected via SPI or I2C communication (We
constructed our zigbee modul that is now under testing). We plan to make
some open source software that we will try to be easy to use for anybody
interested in for example home automation. Also, you can do it via USB but
it might be ok  if you have some serial communication like RS485. This way
some engineer can use your board to communicate with any industrial
networks like BACNET or whatever.

Also, if you plan to use some enclosure I can help you to make 3d model.
This should not be to difficult to make.

Regards,
