I was visiting a space technology fair quite recently, and I was quite surprised to see how many companies are betting on RISC-V in that space (pun intended).

On another note: does anyone have experience with a RISC-V board you can actually order right now?
- netr0ute 4y agoI have a LicheePi and a VisionFive 1. The LicheePi is really tiny and really cute, and it's no more than $30. However, it's essentially a Raspberry Pi Zero and so is super slow. The VF1 is like the LicheePi but hugely upgraded, as it's got a whopping TWO cores and a full 8GB of RAM. Both of these boards lack GPUs and so are painful to use as desktops because the CPU is doing all the rendering. Overall, they work shockingly well if you want a working RISC-V device.
- NewJazz 4y agoRecently announced are the BL808, which is supposed to be under $10, and the VisionFive 2, which is 4 cores and up to 8 GB RAM. Unfortunately neither features the vector extension. https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64 https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64 https://liliputing.com/visionfive-2-risc-v-single-board-computer-is-up-for-pre-order-for-56-and-up/ https://liliputing.com/visionfive-2-risc-v-single-board-comp...
