This Mainboard drops directly into any existing Framework Laptop 13, and is aimed at enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. In this generation, it isn't directly optimized for end-consumer usage. You can sign up in our Marketplace to get notified when we have updates on availability of the RISC-V Mainboard: You can also see more detail in the DeepComputing press release: In case you're wondering what it looks like, here is an early peek at prototype board bring-up on Debian.  @frameworkcomputer  @joojmachine @frameworkcomputer judging by the top border which is not cut probably you are right. @frameworkcomputer The command shutdown can be found at /usr/sbin/shutdown. Default users on @debian don't have sbin in their PATH variable, but root does. @frameworkcomputer poor guy just wanted to turn off the pc :BlobhajSadReach: @frameworkcomputer I recommend sudo for running shutdown. ;) Which kernel is this booting - stock Debian, or a starfive or visionfive2 tree?  @frameworkcomputer This is exciting! I'm trying to figure out if there is a GPU or GPU equivalent on this. It looks like the JH7110 serves at least some of the purposes of a GPU? EDIT: I am having a little trouble navigating the vendor site but a third party says the GPU is an Imagination BXE-4-32? Is this correct?  @mcc @frameworkcomputer I'm not sure if the third-party site you mentioned links to the product brief, this one is from rvspace(dot)org. It does confirm the BXE-4-32. https://doc-en.rvspace.org/JH7110/PDF/JH7110_Product_Brief.pdf @mcc @frameworkcomputer No prob! I was looking at what the potential options are for USB and PCIe expansion and ran across the brief earlier this morning. I've seen the specs on the JH7100, but that uses a dual-core CPU along with a BXE-2-32 GPU, if I remember correctly. @qlp @mcc @frameworkcomputer See also: @mcc @frameworkcomputer it's the same SoC as the VisionFive 2, I think. So anything you can find about that is probably approximately correct. The soc definitely has a GPU, but it's nothing amazing. Neither are the cpu cores for that matter.  @frameworkcomputer oh no. I wish you better luck than the BeagleV Starlight had with its JH7100. I recall one particular issue was that the HDMI output was stuck at some ridiculously low refresh rate that hardly any monitors could handle. |
DeepComputing is showing an early demo of the new RISC-V Mainboard at the RISC-V Summit in Munich next week. This board uses a StarFiveTech JH7110 with SiFive RISC-V CPU cores. DeepComputing is also working closely with the teams at Ubuntu and Fedora on Linux support.
