... and I cannot wait for their first RISC-V board.
- pabs3 5y agoThey are tied to Broadcom, who it seems unlikely would use RISC-V. There are other RISC-V SBCs already though, couple of examples: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/04/09/mangopi-mq-pro-a-20-risc-v-alternative-to-raspberry-pi-zero-w/ https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/04/09/mangopi-mq-pro-a-20-... https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Sipeed/LicheeRV https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Sipeed/LicheeRV
- tssva 5y agoUpton has lately stated that the chance of a risc-v board before 2030 is around 10%. Prior to the Nvidia ARM deal falling apart he had given it a 20% chance. The drop is because the threat of their supplier being their competitor has gone away. According to Upton the main reason for such a low chance of risc-v replacing arm for the Pi is the lack of licensable risc-v cores which come near meeting the price performance ratio of the current arm cores used in the Pi4.
