Microchip releases Linux-ready consumer RISC-V board with FPGA
- rwmj 6y agoAt least in theory it should be possible to run Fedora/RISC-V on this (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V) although at only 2GB the memory size is underwhelming. I have backed it. Can anyone speculate if it would be possible to add NVME using something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-M-2-Adapter-Profile-Express-Red/dp/B01FU9JS94 https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-M-2-Adapter-Profile-Ex...
- rowanG077 6y agoWhy this half backed open SoC? The CPU has an open source instruction set while the FPGA is complete proprietary garbage.
- rwmj 6y agoAll FPGAs are "proprietary garbage". Some have been reverse-engineered (like the Lattice) with great effort, but that's the only difference.
- rowanG077 6y agoWell by that strict definition all of them are indeed proprietary. But in effect some Lattice and Xilinx FPGAs are usable as if they were not proprietary.
