How about RISC-V?
- survirtual 4y agoIf RISC-V has a company behind it akin to Raspberry Pi, along with another org pumping out high-perf SoC, it might be more mainstream relevant. ...wait a sec. You're just referring to an ungimped system. Carry on.

And they have a 64-core version in the works: https://twitter.com/SipeedIO/status/1620011141639581698 https://twitter.com/SipeedIO/status/1620011141639581698 What's surprising is that this unencumbered hardware is coming from a country that's a dictatorship.
- survirtual 4y agoWe may have different ideas of "close." What makes the Raspi special is a vast repository of documentation, a community of people offering support, and extremely well supported peripherals with tight integration. This is a lot of work to do well and to maintain.
