#OrangePi Now has an #OpenSource #RISC-V SBC [With M.2 Slot]

source: https://news.itsfoss.com/orange-pi-rv/

TL;DR: The #CPU is too weak for a #desktop system. Without #HDMI, there are much cheaper IoT RISC-V systems.

The RISC-V chip it uses is the same one as found on the #Milk-V Mars, with Orange Pi pointing out that it can run Linux distributions, pointing to #Debian #Linux on its download page.

With Milk-V Mars, starting #Firefox takes 20 seconds under Debian. Nobody really wants to work with this #performance. You could certainly shorten the time with a very lightweight customized Linux, but it is questionable whether these adjustments will be made.

What's better is that #PCIe is on the underside, unlike the Mars, and the #Wifi is onboard.

If you are looking for a pure IoT solution without HDMI, the Milk-V Duo S is a much cheaper hardware that runs under Linux.

#Olimex Teases a Low-Cost Dual-Core #RISC-V Dev Board Built Around the Espressif #ESP32 - P4

#Espressif's ESP32-P4 itself, meanwhile, comes with two RISC-V #microcontroller cores running at up to 400MHz and 768kB of static #RAM. Its general-purpose input/output (GPIO) connectivity, brought out to 0.1" pins on the development board's edges, include #SPI, #I2C, #I2S, #UART, #TWAI, and #SDIO Host 3.0 buses, pulse-width modulation (PWM), and analog to digital converter (ADC) support.

Russian chipmaker unveils #RaspberryPi competitor — despite US #sanction woes, #Elbrus packs its homegrown chip into the smallest form factor yet

The #MP21, the smallest computer ever to be powered by the Elbrus 2S3, will come equipped with up to 8GB RAM and an SSD between 60 and 480GB of non-soldered SSD storage. The mini-computer will consume 40W of power, much more than the Pi 5's maximum 10W in our testing.
