Has SiFive released any dates for their dev board that can run Linux? I haven't been following it to closely but would love to get one.

- baobrien 9y agoMy reading of the blog post is that it'll be released in Q1 of 2018. Until then, they're giving a few FPGA stand in boards out. The dev board itself will also use an FPGA to implement a few SoC peripherals, like USB and HDMI.
- rwmj 9y agoActually they are sampling the real chips out to some developers now. However you are correct in saying that an FPGA is used to implement the Southbridge, which is mainly for practicality of getting a board out quickly, not because of awesome self-modifying hardware(!)
