TI does not make any RISC-V processors. I've been quite happy with the documentation for the AM335x processors on the standard, ARM-based Beaglebone Black. But the readme at [1] is exactly why I'm reluctant to pick this board: > Tracking mainline u-boot/kernel with T-Head patches as needed > Additional SoC details (Chinese language is good) - pointers to licensed IP is fine > Clear legal path to usage: >> Verify the IP in the SoC is licensed for use >> Verify the IP user documentation can be public [emphasis original, why not the developer documentation?] >> Signed 3P agreement > SDK source required to test board > Documentation needs to launch: >> Additional SoC details (Chinese language is good) - pointers to licensed IP is fine You'll pay more for an NXP, TI, or ST-branded SOC than for an Allwinner, Rockchip, or "T-head" one, but even if all you're paying for is documentation it's well worth it IMO. Edit: It's great that the processor core is an "XuanTie C910 open-source RTL RISC-V". Open-source RTL, wow! The Verilog is up on GitHub [2]! You'll never get that from TI! But the processor core is only a small part of the SOC, there's a ton of other peripherals and other closed-source, closed-documentation IP to run them.
