I'd love to purchase a handful of Ox64s from Pine64, alas still no way to do that from the EU without inflating the price to 3x-5x after shipping and taxes. So far it seems the best Risc-V option is the (not Linux capable, though) ESP32-C3 board from Olimex. https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32-C3/ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo/open-source-hardware https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32-C3/ESP32-C3-DevKit... (more options welcome!)

It is already possible to get ESP32-C6. There's some devboards in aliexpress. VisionFive 2 is also easy to purchase there, as several stores carry it.

The site will unfortunately only allow you to add 10 Ox64 to your cart. That's $80 for the one with bigger flash. Adding my New Zealand address, "Standard Shipping Method" is $11.99. WIth such a small shipment there won't be NZ tax, but assuming for some reason it did get added, that would be 15% of the total including shipping, so $13.80, making a total of $105.80. That is 1.32x the advertised price. I get the same shipping price when I enter Germany as my address. I understand you have higher taxes there, but surely not THAT much higher?
