No problem. There's no reason for anyone to get uppity.
But, referring to John's overall design, and also his board as "carrier" board...
I find that to be an elegant and practical solution using a "carrier board". Modular design allows for either to be upgraded separately over time as necessary.
...as well the ARM as the processor board as "the system."
I think that is an accurate characterization of a SolidRun iMX6 SOM since it contains a memory subsystem, power management subsystem along with networking and system interconnectivity.
The processor chip is not what the layperson would "call" a computer, and doesn't meet the definition.
No disagreement there. An A9 Cortex processor alone is the size of a microSD card or a fingernail - quite the contrast to the iMX6 system linked above. Do you notice the physical difference?
and the use of separate galvanically isolated components, and integration of the some of the Regen tech in the USB stage
All found on his proprietary carrier board separate from the computer system proper. Once again, I think that is a great application of practical packaging.
I don't know what you mean about "reinvent the wheel"
There was no need for John to devise his own computer system consisting of processor, memory, local storage and I/O ports. The SolidRun system is readily available at low cost.
What he did is leverage existing technology - a general purpose computer system - and add what is truly the ASIC part - application specific parts along with chosen OS parameters.
