  1. You need a 1234 GiB GPU to run your program?
    Let me play you the tiniest... breakout board!

    The 10-cent CH32V003 microcontroller and a single capacitor make a complete breakout board. Honestly, I didn't even need the PCB. The capacitor could be soldered directly on the pins.

    I flashed it with the . Not so "Nano" in comparison! for scale.

    And it has support!

    I flashed it with the #Arduino . Not so "Nano" in comparison! #ESP32 for scale.

    And it has #Rust support!

  6. Christopher Barnatt of ExplainingComputers.com reviews the most powerful RISC-V SBC he's yet tested:

    Milk-V Jupiter 2: RISC-V RVA23 SBC

    youtube.com/watch?v=vSKA6thLI1U

    tl;dw: ahead of RasPi 5 in some ways, behind it in others, hardware acceleration works well with the vendor OS (Bianbu, a patched Ubuntu derivative)

  11. Update: I added a sound card :3

    The timings are a bit fucked, I'll fix that at some point.

    The way it works is slightly cursed, since protoflux doesn't have a way to output arbitrary audio. It drives the frequencies and amplitudes of 20 sine waves to reconstruct the sound.

    The CPU is also really weak (running at 100 KHz here), all the audio data is preprocessed and all it has to do is copy it out of ROM and into the audio chip's memory, it is just barely able to do that x3

  16. A couple of weeks ago the riscv64 edge builder had ~300 packages to build to catch up.

    I moved the builder from Hifive Premiere p550 to Milk-v Pioneer this week because it has not been able to catch up since the 3.24 release.

    Yesterday it was 500+

    Now it is 811.

    I am setting up the Spacemit K3 but somehow I doubt it will be enough. We need to fix the build infra to scale horizontally.

  21. Java on Banana Pi: I tested the ARM BPI-M4 Zero and RISC-V BPI-F3 for my 2026 single-board-computer series.

    The M4 Zero beats the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 on every benchmark, up to 47% faster, and it's the cheapest board in the whole comparison. I also got @pi4j blinking an RGB LED on it, my first working GPIO example on a non-Raspberry Pi board!

  26. Both SoCs and SBCs come out of StarFive, and all 3 are fun little #RISCV (you'll see their JH7110 SoCs elsewhere too!) boards that can get you into the ecosystem..

    (The VF2 was also the 1st SBC I backed on Kickstarter!)

  29. SpacemiT K3 is faster RISC-V than previous SBCs.

    But I would like to have something like Altra. You know: 64-128 cores, dimm sockets for TBs of ram, working and fast PCIe. Just with RVA23 cores instead of Neoverse-N1 ones.

    Maybe in 2030?

    MangoPi stole our hearts with the bright pink Zero form-factor #RISCV Allwinner D1 #SBC and quickly followed it up with a H618 ARM option but it's been quiet since :(
