Like with a few other boards making a thread for the HiKey LeMaker board. I have the 1GB model so I am going to start a thread on that one.

One very nice thing is that it comes with the 96boards Debian installed on the eMMC by default. I was able to hook up the Lantronix Spider and this USB to Ethernet part
and was able to simply do an ip a to find the IP address and start working.

Are you thinking HiKey VMware? That might not be so easy these days. Perhaps a new thread in the Networking or VMware forums would get you experiences with those.

Tried Linux-Bench again on the HiKey 1GB board:

Looks like this is going to need heatsinks.
