 jcstaudt | Hey all - I forgot about this room for a long time (sorry about that). | 00:28:54 |
| jcstaudt | I suppose what's happened since I lastposted here (and hosted the Loomio board in the very beginning) is that I was one of the beta testers for the BeagleBoard Starlight project. | 00:29:43 |
| jcstaudt | As we know, that didn't pan ou | 00:29:55 |
| jcstaudt | out.* | 00:30:13 |
| jcstaudt | I have some insider knowledge about what happened behind the scenes in the interactions between BeagleBoard and StarFive, but Drew Fustini told it to me in confidence, so I'll let him share it if he so chooses. | 00:31:29 |
| jcstaudt | I haven't been following the VisionFive product line as a result, but maybe they're making progress in the realm of RISC-V SBCs. | 00:32:23 |
| jcstaudt | In the meantime, I'd encourage anyone who is interested in a "fully" (i.e. as much as currently possible) open-source hardware/software RISC-V laptop to check out the MNT Reform. | 00:33:43 |
| jcstaudt | The system leverages a SOM that contains the CPU, memory, etc, and a RISC-V SOM is in the works (albeit very expensive right now). | 00:35:15 |
| jcstaudt | I don't want to sound like an advertisement, but you can check out the laptop here: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform | 00:35:38 |
| jcstaudt | There is not currently dedicated RISC-V silicon, but we are able to implement RISC-V by use of the RKX7 FPGA module: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-rkx7-fpga-module | 00:37:05 |
| jcstaudt | The cost (€1,599 - €2,599) is likely prohibitive for most, but I would assume that the best way for the tech to progress is to help port more software packages to riscv64 (lots have already been done, thanks to SiFive et al) or support those that are doing this work by buying them a coffee, supporting them on Liberapay, etc. | 00:42:29 |
| jcstaudt | Feel free to contribute via the MNT Community forums (https://community.mnt.re) or chat directly with the developers at #mnt-reform:libera.chat | 00:44:32 |
| jcstaudt | I should note that the price I listed above is for the RKX7 SOM only and doesn't include the cost of the laptop itself. | 00:45:38 |
| jcstaudt | For posterity, here is the link to the (now dormant) Loomio group I created ages ago: https://www.loomio.org/g/THbo1zmX | 00:53:52 |
