I think boards like these that go into everyday computers will help streamline things like drivers and apps a lot. One of the most important things with new platforms is price for people to play with and availability. The raspberry pi for example made getting arm computers very easy and until Apple launched their arm computers it was very difficult to get a computer running arm chip with such a diverse community as raspberry pi. I hope this is the start of such a community for risc v

I&#x27;m happy to help answer questions that folks have on this (though some of them will probably need to be answered by the team at DeepComputing).

This kind of stuff is part of what makes framework laptops so dang compelling. Same case, monitor and everything, just a different mainboard.

Yeah, not available yet or anytime soon, and if it&#x27;s anything like the JH7110 eval board I tried last year, it&#x27;s slower than a RPi4 and has some weird PCIe issues that make M2 SSDs behave badly as well. Plus, mainline Linux support was, and from what I can tell is, nowhere to be found.
