will it work on a raspi pico board?

when I see the specs of a "raspi pico board", it has 1 USB interface therefore an usb hub would be necessary for connecting the pilbox and a storage drive.

According https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/...h-pico.pdf this is an extension board for a raspberry pi. It means by using this board, the setup has to be done from a raspberry pi (however, why not.. only the setup in this thread is not for C/C++ but is only a configuration of raspbian on a raspberry pi. It would be a new task but outside of my competences).

when I see "A build for model 2, 3 and 4 can be done. Model 1 and 0 cannot (at least not with Dynarec, as they lack NEON support)" in https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/blob/ma...COMPILE.md I guess not straight, but new C/C++ programs should be developed (no glue how).

A second hand raspberry pi2 for 20eur in ebay would keep the difficulties manageable.
