Milk-V Mars CM
The Mars Compute Module is a System on Module (SoM) based on the StarFive JH-7110 System on Chip (SoC). The Mars CM integrates the Central Process Unit (CPU), Power Management Unit (PMU), DRAM memory, flash storage and wireless connectivity (WiFi 5 and BT 5.2) in a small form factor of just 55mm x 40mm. The Mars Compute Module is compatible with classic IO board(CM4 IO board), and it offers a cost-efficient solution out of the box for many different applications.

Trial Story Sharing
We kindly invite trial participants to share implementation progress and development stories through preferred channels - whether on social media platforms, technical forums, or personal blogs. Participants are particularly encouraged to post their experiences and project showcases in both the StarFive RVspace community forum (rvspace.org) and their professional networks. Your insights will help inspire fellow developers in our growing ecosystem.
Contributor Expectations
Developers with proven experience in cross-platform porting（capable of fully migrating existing Raspberry Pi CM4-based projects to RISC-V architecture）
We are always open to developers’ needs. Please tell us what specific projects or plans you want to implement? We can provide suitable hardware according to your needs.
I don’t really fit the category. To be honest, I’m not an active developer. I’m more of an enthusiast who enjoys testing systems and learning from them. My focus has been on the wave of cloud gaming, browsing, and web apps not exactly the direction most of you are likely pursuing.
I find these RISC-V models interesting because I’ve been following the growth and development of Rockchip’s RK3588 models since the beginning, and learning more about RISC-V could be valuable. When Milk-V first appeared, I had no real interest due to its early-stage status and very low performance.
However, I’m starting to see Orange Pi showing better system performance with the RV2, and that’s caught my attention. That said, I’m still waiting for that particular model (or something better) to be released in a Compute Module (CM) form. I’ve ordered the Milk-V Mars CM just to experiment with it, but I’m also keeping an eye on the Banana Pi CM6 hopefully it gets released at some point.
I wish Radxa would invest more in this space. I feel that RISC-V is still a bit far from being truly ready, but getting close to Raspberry Pi 4 performance is already a decent starting point.
I’m especially interested in ChromiumOS (which most developers aren’t). I’m curious if FydeOS would ever be open to supporting this architecture. Mainly because of the current lack of proper GPU support. I mean, I’m just curious to see how things play out.
I want to follow the potential growth of this architecture and that’s it. I still think it has promise, despite everything I’ve been reading.
GOOD, Your ChatGPT looks more like Chinese than me, and its Chinese is even better than mine.
I also believe that FydoOS should support RiscV. I cannot contact FydoOS, but we can suggest that Starfive contact FydoOS.
