Overall I think VisionFive2 is overall better board than e.g. BeagleV for kernel development tasks because:

• 2/3 of price
• twice more memory at least in the 8GB version
• Hat that can supply power and UART through micro-USB is about half price of comparable mikrobus and the overall setup is more compact in price.

I had no idea how the CPU’s compare but for my tasks I neither care :-) I guess they help each other to mature in Linux kernel because the hardware platform are from the same family (jh7100 for beaglev and jh7110 for visionfive2). For some other task, e.g. building something around the SBC, the evalution might different.

I came to these conclusions based on working with VisionFive2 and I do not have BeagleV at my hands so that my cause some dilation but at least this board feels like better bang for the buck.

Still would love to get my hands on BeagleV too and get more familiar with it, and yeah, competition is a great thing, and can’t wait for more Beagleboard RISC-V products.

While surfing the wilds of new #SBCs, I stopped by #BeagleBone, saw they had two (2!) new boards and went to look

Reading the specs, I was pretty sure I either suffered a random bout of brain damage or I was hallucinating, then I got to Storage where I recognized some of the words. Not all of them, but some. So that was fun.

I am not brain damaged and that is how to organize new (to me) hardware words.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=L9jvLsvkmdM&si=fs2J8kCHBoPyuEVJ I had to do a huge jump in research doing the massive cpu refactor in #inxi with .massive help from #slackware guys in linuxqestions forums. My interest has kept simmering but recently #riscv has been gainng ground. The notion of a free and open architecture is very appealing. Still early days but #beagleV is now shipping albeit pricey. But early adopter.

I wonder if #BeagleV has similar #DIP switch as #VisionFive2, which works as a selector for different boot modes?

In VisionFive2 you can choose to:

These VisionFive2 e.g. pretty capable board for prototyping CPU extensions.
