 Gateworks has a driver built in to their [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/tree/gateworks_fslc_3.14_1.0.x_ga gateworks_fslc_3.14_1.0.x_ga] kernel branch that supports this card on the Ventana Family of Single Board Computers. Allowing for 8 video inputs is very useful!

+The frame rate and resolution of streaming from multiple cameras simultaneously (compositing) will impact performance. Even if you won't be compositing the streams and instead allowing a user to switch between cameras as needed, performance should still be considered.
+We have not gone through all the various combinations of FPS and resolution with single/dual/quad core iMX6 and 32/64-bit memory buses but these are factors to consider when selecting the right SBC for your project.
+Here are a few links on our wiki to help with your decision:

+If resolution or FPS are important for your use and/or you intend to composite more than a few input streams, you should consider a high-performing platform such as the GW53x4 or GW5404 (quad core, 64-bit memory bus).
