What do you think? Has anyone here tried out the Milk-V?

Seems like it still does have some proprietary components but hey, that’s a big improvement for now.

    Thanks for sharing the link. I was not aware of it. It doesn’t seem that it’s really ready to use. A bunch of software will need to be run through box64 and box86 and that is still pretty new stuff, so it’s not going to run very well or stably.

    You’re better off getting a higher powered arm cpu than using this.

      Yeah, RISC-V in general isn’t yet ready for mainstream use, but it’s a major step forward in the right direction.

      It’s a 64bit CPU running at 2Ghz, that works on a MOBO with 1 x16 port.

      They market it on their website as “Make native RISC-V development possible” so of course your don’t buy this expecting everything to work out of the box.

      Why? Almost all software that compiles for ARM can be compiled for RISC-V.
