#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

source: https://www.hackster.io/news/olimex-teases-a-low-cost-dual-core-risc-v-dev-board-built-around-the-espressif-esp32-p4-84333cbefeaf

#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.

Framework #Laptop 13 To See A #RISC-V #Motherboard Option

source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Framework-Laptop-RISC-V-Board

"This Mainboard is extremely compelling, but we want to be clear that in this generation, it is focused primarily on enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. The peripheral set and performance aren’t yet competitive with our Intel and AMD-powered Framework Laptop Mainboards. This board also has soldered memory and uses #MicroSD cards and #eMMC for storage, both of which are limitations of the processor. It is a great way to start playing with RISC-V though inside of a thin, light, refined laptop. The Mainboard will be able to drop into any Framework Laptop 13 chassis or into the Cooler Master Mainboard Case. DeepComputing is also working closely with the teams at Canonical and #RedHat to ensure Linux support is solid through #Ubuntu and #Fedora."

#Milk-V Duo S mini #PC with #RISC-V and #ARM processor cores

The versatility of the Milk-V Duo S is one of its standout features. It comes equipped with a range of connectivity options, including a 10/100 #Ethernet jack for stable wired internet connections and #USB Type-C and Type-A ports for connecting a variety of peripherals. The board also includes a #microSD card reader for expandable storage, and it’s equipped with 512MB of #DDR3 memory, which is more than capable of managing multiple tasks simultaneously. For those who need wireless connectivity, certain models of the Milk-V Duo S also include #WiFi and #Bluetooth, as well as #eMMC storage options for faster data access and improved security.

...

With a starting price of only $11, it is positioned to be within reach of a wide spectrum of users, from hobbyists to professionals.

#RISC-V #technology emerges as battleground in US-China tech #war

Jack Kang, vice president of #business #development at #SiFive, a Santa Clara, #California - based startup using RISC-V, said potential U.S. #government #restrictions on American companies regarding RISC-V would be a "tremendous tragedy."

"It would be like banning us from working on the internet," Kang said. "It would be a huge mistake in terms of technology, leadership, innovation and companies and jobs that are being created."

#RISC-V based #GPU Processor

source: https://www.think-silicon.com/neox-graphics

NEOX™ is a parallel multicore and multithreaded GPU #architecture based on the RISC-V RV64C ISA instruction set with adaptive NoC. The number of cores varies from 4 to 64 organized in 1-16 cluster elements, each configured for cache sizes and thread counts . Depending on cluster / core configuration, NEOX™ compute power is ranging from 12.8 to 409.6 GFLOPS at 800MHz with support for FP16, FP32 and optionally FP64 and SIMD instructions.

Does anyone know how far #LibreRISC is with their GPU?

Wy don't we have already mainframe class operating systems, interconnects and high level language abstractions on top of Open RISC-V ISA designs?

What is a fricking #MainFrame system? It's a very specific ISA, implemented in a so many Virtual Machine Layers .. heck they even call themselves #LPARs (Logical Partitions). That it is nowadays run on a _bunch_ of different processors... All just coded down to give the optimum peak performance for decades old layers of code, whlie guaranteeing every single transaction.

Heck we develop RISC-V for rad hardnened stuff already, creating a quorum of several cores to make sure there is no error...

When will we enter the real space of big calculations and big transactions finally? ;)
