New risc-v SBC that looks very interesting indeed. 4x 2ghz cores

Since we are necro-posting here… it’s 2 years later…

  1. Ubuntu is going RV23+ only with future releases, 24.10LTS will be available for a long time, but nothing newer.
    I suspect other distros may follow with the RV23 requirement. This will mean some distros and releases will stop supporting the VF2 in the future.
  2. There is a new VF2-lite board (VisionFive roadmap - #2 by ErinD), and we may get lucky with the HDMI kernel code (which currently resembles abandonware)
  3. The PineTab-v is also back on sale (jh7110 powered) which might also help with focussing people on GPU support.

I recently put Ubuntu 24.10 LTS on my VF2, and it’s going to spend the rest of it’s life as a headless network/reticulum server… so I’m not terribly invested any more. I’m waiting for the upcoming RV23 boards to arrive.
