Except that there aren't really any practical (affordable!) RISC-V based Linux boards/modules.
The Onion Omega2S is based on a MediaTek MT7688 (MIPS32LE) and since the demise of the CHIP-Pro, is really the only inexpensive surface mount Linux SoM left.

- vardump 7y agoThat's why I said also "future prospects". It's likely RISC-V will for the very least fill certain niches.
- lsllc 7y agoRight, I just hope they do it quickly! I'd love to see a low cost (e.g. RPi priced) RISC-V based SoM that runs Linux.
- apple4ever 7y agoThe Omega2 is pretty nice, but they do need to improve the ecosystem.
