Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

DeepComputing Unveils RVA23-Compliant Mainboard III for Linux on Framework 13

Canonical and SpacemiT team up for Ubuntu on SpacemiT K1 and K3 RISC-V chips

Chinese RISC-V chip maker SpacemiT is partnering with Canonical to bring Ubuntu to computers powered by two of the company’s processors.

The Spacemit K1 is an 8-core RISC-V processor that’s been around for a little while, but the SpacemiT K3 is a newer, higher-performance chip that’s one of the first to comply with the new RVA23 standard.

That’s important because starting with Ubuntu 25.10, […]

Banana Pi’s BPI-CM6 compute module runs on SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor

Bit-Brick Cluster K1 lets you build a 32-core RISC-V computer (by clustering 4 SpacemiT K1 boards)

The SpacemiT K1 is an 8-core RISC-V processor that has been tapped for several single-board computers, laptops, and tablets in the past two years. It’s not exactly the fastest processor available, with performance about on par with what you’d expect from an Arm Cortex-A55 chip. But you know what’s faster than an 8-core RISC-V processor? A cluster board that lets you leverage four of them at […]

Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a compute module with a SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor

The Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a computer-on-a-module that’s the same size and shape as a Raspberry Pi CM4 and even uses the same board-to-board connectors. But while Raspberry Pi’s compute module has an ARM-based processor, the BPI-CM6 is powered by a SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V chip.

Basically it has the same capabilities as the Banana Pi BPI-F3 single-board computer that launched a year ago but […]

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…
