how long we have raspberry pi or equivalent priced SBU on risc-v? my understanding is that would be a gamechanger because many people would be exposed to it. r

  It's unlikely to happen for a long time. The only reason the RPi exists is because they can divert some Broadcom chips which are produced in vast volumes for things like set-top boxes, get them for a few dollars, and package them as SBCs. There was a run of ~ 5 million AllWinner chips and Beagle packaged one into a board which I have, which would have sold for sub $200, but they decided not to pursue the idea.

    This was the case at first, but they are so big today that there are dedicated RPi chip runs (in fact, I believe they are the only thing using the RPi 4 processor).

  Closer to pi zero than pi 4 but you can order it right now https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003741287162.html https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003741287162.html
