Do people know about new RISC-V based boards to experiment with? The other day I found Milk-V Duo [0], a $9 computer that runs Linux, and watched a cool video demonstration [1]. Another interesting board is the BeagleV®-Ahead [2], but there must be many more such open source HW/SW projects.

- rwmj 3y agoVisionFive 2 is "the one" as far as I'm concerned. Very cheap and crucially it has a slot on the back for an NVMe drive.
- RetroTechie 3y agoFirst decide what you're looking for: Some kind of Raspberri Pi style desktop replacement (or capable of that). GPU, GB's of RAM, plug in USB peripherals, fast external storage, ... Microcontroller: on the lower extreme of CPU power, no graphics, small flash/RAM, grab soldering iron to hook up peripherals. There's ~$0.10 parts there. Boards like the Milk-V Duo fall in between. uC like, faster cpu, larger embedded RAM, may produce video output, not suitable to run modern desktop OS. Very different beasts for very different applications.
