Not them but I would assumes SoC is System on (a) Chip, and ebnf may be a typo of eBPF (in the context of eBPF offloading to perform filtering on the NIC [1])

SoC in this case is a system on a chip - despite the "a" it's abbreviated the same

Probably see SBC's used more as a term for them than SoC's as they incorporate more than just the die (imho)

Well, except once you have a PCIe daughter card it's no longer an SBC; you have at least two boards right there.

No but it is before you add one, so that's the best place to start.

Not necessarily. If this is based on a CM4 (almost certainly), then there's no SBC at all since the CM4 is a SoM.

Yes and there are dozens more than just the CM4 that have it embedded... on a single system board.

You're right. SOC versus SoC. The capitalization is important.
