SBC with Power Management Chip Recommendations? (slrpnk.net)

I am looking for a single board computer that has a charging circuit (i.e. a power management chip) so it can be powered directly by a battery. I am aware of the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 which supports this. However, I wanted to explore my options. Are there any other boards which support this? I am aware of PiJuice and LiFePO4wered as well.

Other requirements:

Ethernet port
Micro SD slot
Min. 1GB RAM (Ideally 2+)
Ideally support for a LiFePO4 battery

I don’t know if this would solve your problem, but if you’re gonna run Ethernet to wherever this device is, consider power over Ethernet. Common boards like the raspberry pi and others can be powered over PoE either with an adapter or in some cases directly. And if your switch doesn’t support PoE, an injector can be had for under $20.

I'm actually planning on Solar, otherwise POE would be ideal.
