I can send you two dev boards, if you want them. The first is
Wandboard Dual (Cortex-A9, ARMv7 with NEON), and the second is
CubieTruck 5 (Cortex-A7, ARMv7 with NEON and VFPv4). Both work, but I
don't use them much anymore. I've mostly moved on to Aarch64.

Provide your postal mailing address, if you want them.
