- slezyr 6y ago> The StarFive JH7100 is equipped with a 4K ready VPU but lacks a 3D GPU. However, according to reports from CNXSoft and ArsTechnica, a version with an Imagination Technologies PowerVR GPU will ship in September. The initial GPU-less model will “use the Vision DSP hardware as a graphics processor, allowing a full graphical desktop environment under Fedora,” says ArsTechnica. http://linuxgizmos.com/beaglev-sbc-runs-linux-on-ai-enabled-risc-v-soc/ http://linuxgizmos.com/beaglev-sbc-runs-linux-on-ai-enabled-... If you are looking for an information about the GPU.
- synergy20 6y agobeagleboard started the whole SBC(small board computer) trend and sadly it did not keep up with the momentum when TI decided to downplay in ARM designs. It was the RPI then. Best wishes to this board, I will buy one as it looks impressive, just hope it has onboard flash or eMMC for the OS and root fs as SD card quality varies.
