Forlinx OK153-S12 Mini – A low-cost Allwinner T153 SBC with Raspberry Pi GPIO header and long-term availability

Forlinx has introduced the OK153-S12 Mini, an Allwinner T153 SBC/development board, which looks to be a low-cost version of the OK153-S SBC that we previously covered. It keeps the same FET153-S SoM, but swaps the industrial terminal blocks, mini PCIe, and some other interfaces for a more compact footprint and a Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin header. The SBC supports up to 1 GB of DDR3 memory, up to 512 MB of NAND flash or 8 GB eMMC flash, and also features a microSD card slot for storage. Other interfaces include two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB Type-C ports for power, data, and debugging, and a USB 2.0 host port. Display is supported via an RGB LCD interface with backlight control via PWM. Other features include mono audio line-out via a 3.5mm headphone jack, multiple GPIOs, and buttons for reset, download, and user input, along with various status LEDs, and a 40-pin

For a multitude of reasons, I want a malleable #riscv implementation in #rust.

There is a near-infinite array of RISC-V simulators around, but the only I know of that can actually boot a full OS, like Debian, FreeBSD, etc. is QEMU, which is not at all easy to hack.

I looked around for another option and about a year ago I ended up creating https://github.com/tommythorn/simmerv, an extensively expanded and rewritten fork of Takahiro's riscv-rust emulator.
