Currently, the block data size of the Ethereum main chain is about 100GB and requires you to verify the block data during synchronization. This process places certain minimum requirements on the device. The processing capacity of the embedded device is relatively high, but it’s still difficult to complete data synchronization and verification in a manner that we are satisfied with.

We are in the midst of deciding whether we want to address the issue by relying less on the amount of synchronous data in the Ethereum client, or, if we can find a new way to quickly import the block data.
