My new #RISCV family member arrived: A #MilkV #Jupiter.
I really liked #OrangePi RV2, but these chipcard soc's are uncomfortable for daily office-business due to their small size.

The Milk-V Jupiter is a cheap standard ITX board which I can mount in a "real PC-style case" with space for more storage and devices.

Recommended #Bianbu OS images failed to boot from SD card with errors ... but then I found updated #Debian πŸ₯° variants and with #Trixie it ran as desired. https://archive.spacemit.com/image/k1/version/debian/

At last I got that final but important piece for my RISC-V SBC ( @bananapi BPI-F3): the cooler. Now I can finally start compiling some big chunks of code like Qt and KDE software. I do have distributed cross-compiling set up using Icecream, but apparently you can't prevent it scheduling compile jobs locally on SBC and only send them to more powerful computers. Let the fun begin…

Just got some RISC-V hardware goodies to play with in the following days/months: BPI-F3 SBC by @bananapi with SpacemiT K1 8-core CPU supporting RVV 1.0 vector extensions. Hooked it up to the TV, booted it for the first time from a microSD with the default Bianbu GNU/Linux distro, so far so good. Will try to get Gentoo or openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma/software running next.

#MilkVJupiter is the first #ITX #RISCV board #JeffGeerling tested
It includes niceties like front panel IO, front-panel Audio, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0, 24-pin ATX power input, an M.2 M-key slot for NVMe, and an open ended PCI Express slot!
#Canonical seems to have a good relationship with #MilkV, so #Ubuntu seems to be the base distro off which #Bianbu #Linux is built.
It all worksβ€”a bit better than he expected. But RISC-V isn't ready for prime-time yet
