RISC-V (pronounced "risk-five") is a license-free, modular, extensible instruction set architecture (ISA).

@lemmy.mlHuge fan of risk-v and massively overwhelmed by analysis paralysis. I‘m in the market for risc-v hardware to develop on and play around with.
After some consideration, I will get an sbc for the hard tinkering and low level stuff and I‘m thinking of getting a tablet for regular use (browing, ebook reading, controlling smart home devices) as well as development and packaging stuff.
My reasoning for using dev hardware on a daily basis is that for myself to be able to use features, I need apps which I am incentivised to compile and package for risc-v.
I‘ve seen very promising risc-v videos but I‘m not sure what to expect from a tablet. To add to that the pinetab v is out of stock which was a strong candidate.
I know there is the new tablet from deepcomputing but its in preorder and the shipping to germany is pretty expensive. (100$ plus). The HD display is pretty awesome compared to the pinetab v but afaik the pinetab comes with accessories.
Any experience with risc-v tablets and which other offers do you consider good?

At very low, choppy FPS for now— but that it can run at all without x86 bodes quite well for the future of RISC-V devices

Hi folks,
after seeing a lot about RISC-V I would really like to get my hands on one of the sbc/dev boards. Since it is a hobby project, I‘d like to spend as little as possible while knowing that cheaping out wont get me far.
I have looked at the starfive visionfive 2 and also bananapi bpi-f3. The latter just came to my attention today.
I‘m thinking of ordering fron waveshare but the dhl shipping is 40% of the price on top so a couple friends might chip in.
My personal ideas are learning to work with and program, compile, package for risc-v as well as seeing first hand how far the development progresses. I dont mind building something with the board or using it as a pc but thats not my first use.
Any better options? Anyone have experience with waveshare? Other suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
