 that's a *really* specialist SoC, with USB3, PCIe, 5x GbE and
specialist hardware for optimised throughput on routing tables *and*
hardware-level accelerated crypto.

 PCIe could be used to connect NVMe, or, as appears to be the case
here, a PCIe bridge plus SATA.

so it's a great choice of SoC, that doesn't fit into EOMA68 (or
EOMA200 for that matter, as it lacks video output).
