Since they're certifying 3rd party devices now I wouldn't be surprised for code covering those to pop up in the steamos repos. I wouldn't be surprised if this was for the ASUS ryzen handheld or something.

This doesn't seem to be for a handheld though. The addition of HDMI CEC and the high TDP suggests this seems to be a console of sorts.

Ah, yeah, probably some console flavor of steam machine then. What TDP does this one have?

Edit: similar dev boards have been spotted with HS and U laptop chips, as well as Zen3 embedded <~55W so .. it could be anything. Valve probably won't be using an off the shelf SoC, it'll be another GPU heavy custom job unless this is purely a dev platform or something.

A steam console could be interesting.
