It’s not the first Ryzen V3000 platform from the company, and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C18I mini-ITX motherboard runs the same software as the BedRock V3000 fanless industrial computer. That means Ubuntu Server, Windows 11, pfSense, OPNsense, and FreeBSD. You’ll find software resources to get started on the documentation website.
It’s also the second HoneyComb board from SolidRun, and the first iteration was the Honeycomb LX2K with a 16-core NXP LX2160A SoC and the same dual 10 GbE SFP+, 2.5GbE, and dual SATA configuration. It was notably used in workstations for native Arm development.
SolidRun sells the HoneyComb Ryzen V3000 mini-ITX motherboard for $1,000, with the price including the heatsink and fan shown in the top photo. Further information may be found on the product page.
