Hello, anyone has procured any RISC V development boards? i am interested in getting MILK V duo and USB/Ethernet IO board. After watching recent LTT video seems very interesting to mess around with some kind of development board.
It’s available here -
but shipping costs more than the board, if anyone is interested let me know, we can figure out something.
What is your use case ?
i just want to mess around with RISC V as a hobby, emerging tech is always interesting.
something like this -
Not RISC, but you can look at -
For exploring RISC, there are emulators available.
i want to specifically try RISC V, i have worked with pastime projects with Raspberry Pi before. That’s why only option is to import, it’s not available anywhere except China now.
I tried buying, but arace.tech does not accept credit cards and google pay does not work.
If you’re fine with a microcontroller class chip, try the ESP32-C3 (available at robu,
https://robu.in/product/dfrobot-beetle-esp32-c3-risc-v-core-development-board/,
or elsewhere)
For those interested in RISC V, Robu is stocking the Milk Duo boards now.
thanks for the heads up, ordered one.

Interesting update:
A RISC-V World First Independently Developed RISC-V Mainboard for a Framework Laptop from DeepComputing
There is nothing special in this for your use case, it’s just an another single board computer like raspberry pi, you will just install linux and do linux things as you normally would, no difference for you.
The real difference is the instruction set, which won’t matter to you unless you plan to do things with assembly.
Good advance in terms of usability of the platform but the entry level config costs above 3000 USD !
Yes, cost is prohibitive even for western standards. But, Framework laptop is progressing good these days.
Want to root for their for their modular, hacker friendly and reusable approach.
