Is RISC-V vaporware? It’s on HN all the time but I never see where it is available for purchase.

Is RISC-V vaporware? It’s on HN all the time but I never see where it is available for purchase.
- microcolonel 9y agoSiFive seems to be selling the only publicly available chips as of yet. The FE310 (~300MHz 32-bit microcontroller, FreeRTOS capable) can be bought on the HiFive1 and one other dev board, or as bare chips. They say they'll ship a FU500 (~1.5GHz quad-core application processor with supervisor mode and memory protection, capable of booting Linux and FreeBSD) dev board (board called HiFive Unleashed) this quarter.
- rwmj 9y agoSiFive are sampling their 64 bit chips now and have said they will have them on sale in Q1 this year. (I'm currently porting Fedora to RISC-V)
