Ubuntu on VisionFive 2 RISC-V single board computer

[erek]

Love all the single board computer coverage and RISC-V of course

““VisionFive 2 is the first RISC-V single-board computer with an integrated GPU and an exciting step forward for the whole RISC-V ecosystem, ” said Frank Zhao, Software Vice President of StarFive. “We are excited to have Ubuntu, the most popular Linux operating system, successfully running on VisionFive 2, thanks to our collaboration with Canonical. The operating system and open source software is key to high performance RISC-V applications. We are dedicated to supporting RISC-V ecosystem development, and StarFive will make further contributions to the open-source world with Canonical.””

I'm hoping RISCV can become a staple in things like maker boards and SBCs. so this is good news.

All we need is a RISCV CPU powerful enough to emulate our favourite consoles, then watch popularity skyrocket.

It's coming. The Longan Nano (more or less Arduino Nano form factor) with a single RISC-V core has been out for quite some time. I've got one sitting on my desk that came with a small OLED display, but i haven't had time to use it much. There's also at least one ESP32 with RISC-V cores.
