Just finished designing a custom out-of-band management plane for my homelab.

All built around 3 open-source Armsom @armsom_jackson Sige7 boards — next step: turning the prototype into proper HATs and writing the control software 🚀

Creating a management plane for the Armsom Sige7

Building an Out-of-Band Management Plane for My Homelab My current homelab consists of three Armsom Sige7 nodes. Having multiple identical boards allows me to experiment with different configurations, test deployment strategies, and simulate small-scale distributed environments. What makes the Armsom Sige7 especially interesting is that it’s open-source hardware. This gives me full visibility into the board layout, which opens the door to deeper hardware-level integrations that are normally difficult—or impossible—on closed systems.

Just received my new ArmSoM Sige7 and started testing the provided Ubuntu 22.04 image and Rockchip loader. Flashed the board, set up the system, and ran initial CPU stress tests. Power usage looks great: ~7.5W under full load and ~2.5W idle, with temps staying cool and the fan barely audible. Promising start for this RK3588-based board! [...]

ArmSoM CM1 is a $15 RK3506J compute module with an optional carrier board.

We’ve seen a bunch of computer-on-a-module designs from Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, NVIDIA, and others in recent years. But the ArmSoM CM1 stands out as one of the only models I’ve seen that can be used with or without a carrier board since it has a built-in USB-C port, MIPI-DSI display connector, and microSD card reader.

It’s also pretty cheap, with prices starting at just $15 for a standalone […]
