The JH7110 has a single PCIe interface, and DeepComputing connected it to WiFi on this board. We explored alternate architectures with them using a PCIe switch to share the single interface between an SSD and WiFi, but it leads to weird tradeoffs on performance, cost, and overall complexity. Instead, we kept this design focused and simple to make it a straightforward development board. Realistically, the CPU is slow enough that for real world usage, the storage speed isn’t going to be the usability constraint.
