I have an Orange Pi RV2 [1]. Lots of connectivity, and pretty inexpensive [2]. When it arrived, people were saying that finally there was a good RiscV offering. Unfortunately, it's about 1/2 the power of an equivalent spec Aarch64 based board. Great value for the price though.

Last I checked the kernel patches were not upstreamed yet. $ head -n1 /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://repo.huaweicloud.com/ubuntu-ports/ noble main restricted universe multiverse Nice board -- everything works. Mediocre performance. Not well integrated into the OSS ecosystem. -Bart On Fri, May 30, 2025 at 6:28 AM Robert P. J.
