That actually sound pretty solid. I might need one of these >.>
it is ๐
they actually already have a prototype of a similar board that's literally smaller than an SD-card ๐คฏ
and it has 1gb of ram and a quad core cpu ๐ฎ (though, as you can see, it only interfaces via pins, so it's more of a compute module than a standalone board)
and i have to say that the support is still not great, like, you need to build linux a linux image yourself with third party tools and many things aren't working yet, but overall, i'm very excited for RISC-V and its potential (and other boards from this company)
Can you please share details about this one?
Edit: if you are referring the following... it's not RISC-V: https://hackaday.com/2022/04/01/mangopi-to-bring-a-sd-card-sized-linux-module/
yeah, it's based on an arm cpu, sorry if that wasn't clear from the comment
(they have two versions of many of their boards, one on arm and the other on risc-v)
they also have a board that's about 40x40 millimetres, which i also have, but i can't access it to showcase here unfortunately, but it was more of an early prototype: it only has 64mb of ram ๐ฌ, so not great performance, but cool for stuff like making your own OS ๐คทโโ๏ธ
