Looks like the Avaton family, used in the FreeNAS Mini, many home builds (myself included), and other products may have a potential fatal failure due to the clock generator on the chip.
Not sure if it's been reported or made known to y'all here on the forum, but wanted to share if it hasn't.

The processor can fail to produce a clock signal required to drive the whole device
System May Experience Inability to Boot or May Cease Operation
Problem:
The SoC LPC_CLKOUT0 and/or LPC_CLKOUT1 signals (Low Pin Count bus clock
outputs) may stop functioning.
Implication: If the LPC clock(s) stop functioning
the system will no longer be able to boot.
Workaround: A platform level change has been iden
tified and may be implemented as a workaround
for this erratum.
