Ethernet support? #17

Do you plan to add 10/100M Ethernet support, like in this board https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ATSAM4E16E-ATSAM4-Evaluation-Kit-120MHz-Cortex-M4-Ethernet-USB-UART-CAN-485-TF-NAND-RTC-2/32827008906.html ?

That board uses a SAM4-E, which has an on-die ethernet MAC controller, whereas imix uses the lower-power SAM4-L, which doesn't. So... no, but a different board with ethernet+802.15.4 and/or BLE would certainly be interesting!
