Details for early access for deepcomputes risc v motherboard are out! Preoders start at $200 for a Mobo, coolernaster case, and various sundries. I’m glad it’s at an affordable price point.
Any external sharing of user experiences of the Early Access Program must be approved by DeepComputing and Framework before publication.
Yikes. I like Framework (have had one for a few years now) but this is not what I expect from them at all.
Once they drop this requirement and get to normal (removable) memory and storage I’d pay double this though!
Is this a Framework, or Deep Computing requirement?
It appears to be a Deep Computing produced board that matches the Framework specification.
Will Framework community start writing their own kernel+OS for this board?
Why? It works with both Ubuntu and Fedora, so making images of other distros should be pretty straightforward.
Linux is quite slow on every Risc-V board. Probably only fast-ish I’m aware of is Milk-V Pioneer.
Building a new OS isn’t going to make RISC-V boards faster. The primary limiting factor here is the actual hardware.
