https://milkv.io/pioneer https://milkv.io/pioneer seems to be the most powerful rn, but I'd only recommend it for developers who are working on getting things like gpu drivers ported.
For most development smaller SBCs are enough, and I'd recommend waiting for RVA22/23 profile supporting hardware before spending a lot of money, because most current chips use the non standard vector isa and don't support all profile extensions, because they where created before everything was ratified.
Here is a list of risc-v SBCs: http://krimsky.net/articles/riscvsbc.html http://krimsky.net/articles/riscvsbc.html
- snvzz 3y agoCurrent chips largely implement what we retroactively call RVA20: RV64GC. This was ratified in 2019 and unmodified since 2017. The next batch we are aware of (Ventana Veyron, Tenstorrent Ascalon, SiFive P470/P670/U84, XuanTie C908) implement RVA22+V. The extensions included were largely ratified in December 2021.
- camel-cdr 3y agoDo you know if Ventana Veyron and Tenstorrent Ascalon will be available to regular consumers? I mentally lumped them in with andes from which I haven't seen any vector cores available anywhere, even though they "released" them a long time ago.
- snvzz 3y agoVentana announced last year they'd have server boards late current year. Tenstorrent Ascalon's TBA 2024, but it is a chiplet. We do not know in which form it'll be available in. I am hopeful there'll be development boards.
