Interesting. I wonder how that works marlin related.
I don´t see stock OctoPrint and Stock Marlin work running on one system. The timing in Marlin would kill every print as the Linux will cause trouble. So I guess this is just a normal plug and play printer board, which allows to plug the raspberry pi in.
Price and feature wise it looks ok, but I cannot find the features of the board beside connectors.
Ok,after some research, they really control the motors directly via gpio. Interesting. I wonder how well this works as a small hickup on the Linux side will cause massive trouble unless they use something special to make the hole printing stuff real time somehow.
I for sure would not act as an early adopter, as this has high potential to only look good on paper.

My guess is that RasPi works as main PC in 64 bit on the controller board and you can attach a capacitive touch screen as well. By saying " no PlatformIo " is that you can compile Marlin through your Octoprint controller since it is installed in RasPi.
A good info resource is here: https://github.com/markniu/PandaPi
A guide here: https://github.com/markniu/PandaPi/wiki
The total price of included 5 TMC 2209 drivers and a cloned BLtouch seems to be fair enough 91USD.
Well, in that case, it's not nearly the bargain it appeared to be at 1st. Almost $100 for a control board is not cheap.
Maybe not as cheap as SKR's boards, but it is as good as a regular PC. OTOH a 64 bit board like RasPi offers much speed and "reliability " than a 32 bit SKR board. It controls up to 6 drivers ( two extruders in one carrier). You an install Octoprint in RasPi ( according site's sayings ), online compiling and such. To be certain , we have to read other's confirmation about it!
