Regarding the offerings on the page at "Crowd Supply"-
To use one of the computer-cards as stand-alone, with the cable-set offered for that purpose, do I just- (1) buy "a smartphone / tablet 2A USB-OTG Charger (which is easily found at any store these days including Walmart or Asda’s)",
yes.
(2) connect the 3-way cable to (a) that charger, (b) the computer-card, and (c) the HDMI-cable,
yes.
(3) connect some HDMI-screen to (a) the computer-card and (b) the HDMI-cable?
yes.
Where or how would I connect a key-board and a "mouse"?
buy a USB2 hub.
I do not remember reading anywhere that such could be directly connected to the "EOMA 68"-card, but perhaps I am forgetting something relevant about that standard.
USB-OTG set into USB Host mode.
The "Intel Compute Stick" seems to use "Bluetooth" for those (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Compute_Stick), and the "Chromebit" seems to add the possibility of "WiFi" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromebit), ... but how will Rhombus-Tech's stand-alone enable these peripherals?
see OTG answer above.
