А может нафиг всякие #ARMboard ‘ы сродни Orange Pi Plus и т.п. Может настаёт уже время RISC-V и среди одноплатнтков и в лице всяких mainboard для ноутбуков #Framework?

Может хватит кормить ARM и пора нести свои кровные за RISC-V решения?

Понятно, что это никакая не архитектура, а набор комант (ISA) и реально процессор может быть хоть #ARM, хоть #MIPS.

Ясно, что компания MIPS объявив о переходе на RISC-V ни в коем разе не отказылась от MIPS-процессоров, а просто стала делать им другой набор команд.

Вот может и пора затариваться чем-то на базе #StarFive #JH7110? Тем более, что на этом делают уже материнские платы для кастомизируемых ноутбуков #Framework.

Да и судя по тестам с ISA RISC-V уже есть процессоры со вполне зрелой производительностью.

"We’re happy to share that DeepComputing’s DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now in stock and shipping in the Framework Marketplace. This is very much a developer-focused board to help accelerate maturing the software ecosystem around RISC-V."

Awesome! Feel free to join and snac runs perfectly fine on a RPi! I built #snac for #RISCV (for my #Starfive #visionfive2 board) which even runs there pretty smooth :) also @grunfink is doing an absolutely great job as the dev behind the snac project.

RISC-V can already be used in an every day scenario - but it highly depends and needs some special love.

If you're interested, I used VF2 boards in production.

Took a fair bit of mucking about (mainly because I haven't updated the firmware in a year), but I finally got #openbsd76 running on my #starfive #visionfive2 .

#openbsd #riscv #riscv64

Okay, so I figured it out. Several things changed without documentation, and there are undocumented assumptions:

- the newer Ubuntu images for the #StarFive #VisionFive 2 are more automated than they used to be. More of the EFI stuff is fully automated, and used more sophisticated parts of the EFI partition format than u-boot's filesystem commands know about (but the boot commands still read correctly)
- the SD card loader assumes you have no eMMC. (!) I still had eMMC with FreeBSD installed on it, so for a bit the Ubuntu loader was booting FreeBSD from eMMC, *because the Ubuntu u-boot assumes it is on the first valid mmc device*. But the first valid mmc device is the eMMC if it's installed.

And now that I sorted that out, I need to set it aside for the night because I sorted this out in bed and the wifi config tools aren't in the server image so I need a hard-line tomorrow

#RISCV

Apparently Ubuntu's pre installed server images for 24.04 for the #StarFive #VisionFive2 just.... don't include the dtb for the board anymore? There's no dtb directory at all, just the EFI directory. So I guess nobody has actually tested this in the last year?

And the VisionFive2-specific u-boot in the image can't list the contents of the partition?

Has anyone actually gotten these to work recently? I'll track down a recent dtb and try again later, but I'm puzzled by the fact that u-boot can't read the partition contents. The instructions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RISC-V/StarFive%20VisionFive%202) refer to the 23.10 image, which I can't find on any mirrors... Has anyone seen this work? #RISCV

#Framework #Laptop13 To See A #RISCV #Motherboard Option
Pricing information isn't yet available and the motherboard is in development still, but #DeepComputing is working on bringing this RISC-V motherboard for Framework Laptop 13 as an alternative to the Intel and AMD options. The DeepComputing RISC-V motherboard will use a #StarFive #JH7110 with four U74 RISC-V cores. The JH7710 SoC does have upstream #LinuxKernel support!

Call me crazy but I believe that a #linux #tablet might actually have a chance to be the first really useful tablet for me.
