  1. I just received a EIC7700x Devboard from eswin.

    I am suitably impressed. Clocks at 1.4Ghz, but it wipes the floor with the SpaceMit SOC’s. (And according to docs, it can clock up to 1.8Ghz, so it still has a lot of room to grow)

    DDR5 at 6400M/T certainly helps, but it’s even doing very well on Cypto/openSSL benchmarks and 7zip (thanks to SBC-benchmark script)

  2. Just pushed an update to my Debian images for the MilkV Duo and Sipeed Licheervnano boards. We now support the DuoS EMMC variant.

    Next version will be mainline kernel support!

  3. When your SBC obsession leads to searches for alternative power sources instead of over-populated power boards.

    (Hoping for a sunny day tomorrow so I can do some load testing!)

  4. Just updated my Debian images for MilkV DuoS support.
    Many thanks @tllim and for giving me a DuoS board to get this done.

    Grab the images here: github.com/Fishwaldo/sophgo-sg

  5. Just released a Debian image (and builder) for the Sophgo SG200x chips. (This includes the MilkV Duo256, LicheeRVNano and soon, the DuoS). The Buildroot images they provide are nice, but nothing like having a few thousand packages ready to install at your fingertips on 256Mb of Ram (or 512Mb if you splurged on the DuoS!)

    It runs surprisingly well!

  8. Currently building new images for the and . This is going to take a while, so I thought I’d take the dog for a walk, only to find him passed out like this!

  9. For those using my plasma images for - new images have just been uploaded fixing charger and power issues, touchpad and a few other things. Grab the latest image here: pine64.my-ho.st:8443/pinetabv/ (GitHub has more details on the changes)

  10. My KDE Plasma Image for the is now available for testing. Still lots to fix up but this has full GPU desktop acceleration, and feels responsive, even running from a SD card. Check wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab-v for details. @PINE64 @pine64eu
