That’s a bummer, but I understand. It has to be interesting to someone who knows where to start. And they do have the reputation for not being open enough. But there are so many other ARM boards to choose from! Just pick the one that has the most complete docs I guess? (Board, CPU, GPU etc) Surely the pinephone must be inevitable at some point? I’d like to be able to use one of the Risc V boards. I have a VisionFive 2 and a Banana Pi, and am not getting much use out of either one so far. (Linux runs fine, but most of the time there’s no particular reason compelling me to turn it on. They do not outperform the pi’s.) I thought maybe I’d try to work with the assembler at some point, but keep putting it off… no compelling reason except to understand the architecture better. What about the risc-v version of this https://www.clockworkpi.com/product-page/uconsole-kit-r-01 Or the MNT Pocket Reform… I haven’t been able to think of a good enough reason why I should get one, but it looks nice. I’ve gotten plenty of use from the pi 3 and 4 though: it’s great to have 9front on them. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tabc159d56e7ead54-Mc1c4110a4e5862952878f079 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
