Well, according to their information it is going to have an USB-C with
HDMI output. So Id expect you'ld be able to connect a standard monitor and
USB Keyboard/Mice.

Looking to their first planning with iMX.6, the devkit even had an SATA
connector :-)

Regarding what they write on their site, many of their development
is made on Debian Buster. They just recently announced that their own
'distro' is making some progress. Lots of their changes are pushed back
upstream, so I think we can expected that it will run other distrbutions.
