The article mentions the availability of a case to use it like a single-board-computer.
If that's what your going for, get a STAR64 from Pine64 or a Mars from MilkV; they use the same processor in a form-factor much more suited as a single-board-computer.

I see here a Hailo SBC in Amazon-DE.
Any experience with this in the software side of things? Is the accelerator supported?

It looks to be a dedicated video processor. I'm not familiar with it, and I don't see any signs that it uses a RISC-V core.

This is JH7110, a chip from 2 years ago.
It was first seen in VisionFive 2, the first mass-produced RISC-V SBC. It's also available in other boards, such as MILK-V Mars, Star64 and the Roma laptop.
A bit old now, but has the advantage of having good upstream support, which is likely why its SoC was selected.
I use my VF2 as a small home server, with ZFS disks. It runs Debian trixie with Debian's generic RISC-V kernel package.

Yes, I've had my VF2 for two years exactly, this week.
Until the P550 Megrez arrives, hopefully in the next week, the VF2 is still the fastest RISC-V board I have for software development. It builds everything I've tried faster than either the higher MHz and wider and OoO TH1520 (C610) board or the higher MHz and twice as many cores SpacemiT K1 board. (Pioneer would be faster but it also costs 30x more for about 15x more speed)
It makes total sense to use a mature and well-supported SoC for the first integration into the Frame ecosystem. No doubt a lot of things were learned in the year or so they've been working on it. If they'd waited for EIC7700 (for example) then that would delay the whole thing for up to a year.
As it stands, they can probably bang out a follow-up EIC7700 or K1/M1 board pretty quickly now if they want to.
