Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

DeepComputing Unveils RVA23-Compliant Mainboard III for Linux on Framework 13

Canonical and SpacemiT team up for Ubuntu on SpacemiT K1 and K3 RISC-V chips

Chinese RISC-V chip maker SpacemiT is partnering with Canonical to bring Ubuntu to computers powered by two of the company’s processors.

The Spacemit K1 is an 8-core RISC-V processor that’s been around for a little while, but the SpacemiT K3 is a newer, higher-performance chip that’s one of the first to comply with the new RVA23 standard.

That’s important because starting with Ubuntu 25.10, […]

Bit-Brick Cluster K1 lets you build a 32-core RISC-V computer (by clustering 4 SpacemiT K1 boards)

The SpacemiT K1 is an 8-core RISC-V processor that has been tapped for several single-board computers, laptops, and tablets in the past two years. It’s not exactly the fastest processor available, with performance about on par with what you’d expect from an Arm Cortex-A55 chip. But you know what’s faster than an 8-core RISC-V processor? A cluster board that lets you leverage four of them at […]

Update: The BPI-CM6 compute module with a SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor is now available for $67 + shipping (or $84 for a bundle that includes a carrier board). https://liliputing.com/banana-pi-bpi-cm6-is-a-compute-module-with-a-spacemit-k1-risc-v-processor/ #RISCV #SpaceMiTK1 #BananaPi #ComputeModule #BananaPiBPI-CM6

Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a compute module with a SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor

The Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a computer-on-a-module that’s the same size and shape as a Raspberry Pi CM4 and even uses the same board-to-board connectors. But while Raspberry Pi’s compute module has an ARM-based processor, the BPI-CM6 is powered by a SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V chip.

Basically it has the same capabilities as the Banana Pi BPI-F3 single-board computer that launched a year ago but […]

At last I got that final but important piece for my RISC-V SBC ( @bananapi BPI-F3): the cooler. Now I can finally start compiling some big chunks of code like Qt and KDE software. I do have distributed cross-compiling set up using Icecream, but apparently you can't prevent it scheduling compile jobs locally on SBC and only send them to more powerful computers. Let the fun begin…

Quick update: my merge request for the #spacemitk1 on the #dcromapad2 at #postmarketOS has passed all tests! :)))

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5903

YES! I made it! I successfully ported the #spacemitk1 #riscv processor and the #bananapif3 and #dcromapad2 to #Postmarketos

Just got some RISC-V hardware goodies to play with in the following days/months: BPI-F3 SBC by @bananapi with SpacemiT K1 8-core CPU supporting RVV 1.0 vector extensions. Hooked it up to the TV, booted it for the first time from a microSD with the default Bianbu GNU/Linux distro, so far so good. Will try to get Gentoo or openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma/software running next.

I couldn't resist to have a quick look into the device tree file(s) in the kernel sources of Bianbu Linux:

see here: https://gitee.com/bianbu-linux/linux-6.6/blob/bl-v2.0.y/arch/riscv/boot/dts/spacemit/k1-x.dtsi

On a quick look (didn't check entry by entry) the 'riscv,isa-extensions' entries per cpu seems to match your table.

Anyway as I said before, I think this does not need to reflect the real capabilities of the SOC too.

@haui

Regarding this I found an article from RedHat:

see https://research.redhat.com/blog/article/risc-v-extensions-whats-available-and-how-to-find-it/

According to the article the DeviceTree can be used to get that information, but since that's just a configuration describing the hardware it could be incomplete too.

#riscv #spacemit #spacemitk1 #bananapif3 #bpif3 #linux #devicetree

@haui

I do not think the SOC is missing those extensions.

See here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.12-rc4/arch/riscv/uabi.html

According to the kernel documentation about isa lines in /proc/cpuinfo:

"... the absence of an extension in these lines does not necessarily mean the hardware does not support that feature. The running kernel may not recognize the extension, or may have deliberately removed it from the listing."

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)

DC-ROMA Laptop II packs an octa-core RISC-V processor, 16GB of RAM and Ubuntu Linux

The DC-ROMA was the first first laptop to ship with a RISC-V processor. It first launched in very limited quantities in late 2022, and became more widely available the following year. But with a 1.5 GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core processor and shipped with support for OpenKylin or Debian Linux operating systems.
Now the makers of the laptop are […]
