I built a tool to compare #Java performance across ARM, x86, and RISC-V single-board computers! It uses the Renaissance Suite wrapped in a @jbangdev script. The results are now live on my blog with an interactive dashboard. Winners from this batch: #LattePanda #IOTA, #OrangePi 5 Ultra, and #RaspberryPi 5.

I got #Java 25 running on the #RISCV #BeagleBoard BeagleV-Fire! After my initial struggles in a previous video, I succeeded in upgrading Ubuntu and installing Java!

Next stop in my "2026 Java on Single Board Computers Journey": #BeagleBoards! I received four boards (2x #Arm, 2x #RISCV) and did a quick first unboxing and test. I had some wins and misses, but it's clear that BeagleBoard has a strong user focus with their Imaging Utility and documentation! Great work!

I share my first experiences in this video on YouTube:

Continuing my #JavaOnSingleBoardComputers with a new #JavaOnRiscV test! The #StarFive #VisionFive 2 Lite is a 60€ board with 4Gb RAM and a 4-core #RISCV processor, and ... it runs #Java of course ;-)

I started my 2026 #JavaOnSingleBoardComputers and #JavaOnRiscV journey with two different #OrangePi boards. The 5 Ultra with #ARM processor, and RV2 with #RISCV.

Quick conclusion: Java works great on both, of course :-)

Ever since I started my #JavaOnRaspberryPi journey in 2019 for my book "Getting Started with Java on the Raspberry Pi", I've been fascinated with these tiny, inexpensive computers.

For 2026, I've set one of my goals to experiment with different types of Single-Board Computers (SBC). These boards are available with different processors based on x86, ARM, and RISC-V.

In this blog, I compare these processors:
