Start9 RISC-V Router features SpacemiT K1 SoC, runs StartWRT OpenWrt fork (Crowdfunding)

Start9's "RISC-V Router" is powered by a SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V processor paired with 4GB RAM and 16GB eMMC flash, and offers dual GbE networking, as well as an AsiaRF AW7915-NP1 WiFi 6 4T4R module enabling up to 2401 Mbps combined data link. It's not exactly a high-end router, but Start9 claims it is the "most open router on the market" thanks to its RISC-V processor, OpenSBI open-source boot stack, and StartWrt operating system, a fork of OpenWrt. Start9 router specifications: SoC – SpacemiT K1 CPU – 8-core X60 RISC-V processor with single-core performance equivalent to about 1.3x the performance of an Arm Cortex-A55 GPU – Imagination IMG BXE-2-32 with support for OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL ES3.2, Vulkan 1.2 VPU – H.265, H.264, VP9, VP8 4K encoding/encoding NPU – 2.0 TOPS AI accelerator System Memory – 4GB LPDDR4 Storage 16GB eMMC flash MicroSD card slot Networking 2x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports

SpacemiT K3-powered DC-ROMA RISC-V motherboard III is made for the Framework Laptop 13

Another day, another SpacemiT K3 device is released, namely Deep Computing DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III for Framework Laptop 13, following the K3 Pico-ITX SBC and K3-CoM260 (and related Jupiter 2 and Banana Pi BPI-SM10) on Monday, and the Firefly AIBOX-K3 on Tuesday. Initially launched with Intel processors, the Framework Laptop 13 repairable and modular laptop had already got a RISC-V motherboard with the StarFive JH7110-based “DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard” in 2024, followed by an ESWIN EIC7702X variant the next year. The third RISC-V mainboard features the octa-core K3 64-bit RISC-V SoC with up to 60 TOPS (Sparse) of AI performance, up to 32GB RAM, and an optional 1TB NVMe SSD. Specifications of the Framework Laptop 13 with DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III: SoC – SpacemiT K3 CPU 8x 64-bit RISC-V X100 “big” cores clocked up to 2.4 GHz, RVA23 compliance; 130 KDMIPS performance (similar to RK3588) 8x RISC-V A100 AI Cores with

Firefly AIBOX-K3 – An Edge AI mini PC powered by SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC

Back in July last year, SpacemiT unveiled the SpacemiT K3 SoC. After that, we saw some system information and early benchmarks come out around January this year. The company has just officially launched the K3 Pico-ITX SBC, which is now available through various distributors. Firefly has launched its own K3 hardware with the AIBOX-K3, a complete industrial-grade RISC-V edge computing box. The AIBOX-K3 Edge AI mini PC is built around the SpacemIT Key Stone K3 octa-core processor and features an integrated AI engine that delivers up to 60 TOPS of compute performance, making it suitable for local LLM inference and edge AI applications. Firefly AIBOX-K3 specifications: SoC – SpacemiT K3 CPU 8x 64-bit RISC-V X100 “big” cores clocked up to 2.4 GHz, RVA23 compliance; 130 KDMIPS performance (similar to RK3588) 8x RISC-V A100 AI Cores with support for up to 1024-bit RVV1.0 parallel computing, optimized for matrix operations.
