We're excited to share a preview of a Framework Laptop with a new CPU architecture today, and it's not the one you probably think it is. DeepComputing is creating the first partner-developed Mainboard, and it's powered by a RISC-V processor!

Introducing a new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputing

We’re excited to share a preview of a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard with a new CPU architecture.

Framework
DeepComputing is showing an early demo of the new RISC-V Mainboard at the RISC-V Summit in Munich next week. This board uses a StarFiveTech JH7110 with SiFive RISC-V CPU cores. DeepComputing is also working closely with the teams at Ubuntu and Fedora on Linux support.
This Mainboard drops directly into any existing Framework Laptop 13, and is aimed at enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. In this generation, it isn't directly optimized for end-consumer usage.

A RISC-V World First Independently Developed RISC-V Mainboard for a Framework Laptop from DeepComputing - DeepComputing

Today, RISC-V pioneer DeepComputing announced that their first RISC-V Mainboard, compatible with the Framework Laptop 13, is about to be released. Sporting a RISC-V StarFive JH7110 SoC, this groundbreaking Mainboard was independently designed and developed by DeepComputing. It’s the main component of the very first RISC-V laptop to run Canonical’s Ubuntu Desktop and Server, and the […]

In case you're wondering what it looks like, here is an early peek at prototype board bring-up on Debian.
@frameworkcomputer you're going fullspeed into the future. I love it!

@frameworkcomputer I love the flex of showing it without any cooler
@frameworkcomputer This is very exciting, I'm looking forward to this
@frameworkcomputer The command shutdown can be found at /usr/sbin/shutdown. Default users on @debian don't have sbin in their PATH variable, but root does.
I often use `systemctl poweroff`.
@beat @frameworkcomputer @debian
It didn't find "powerooff" either... 🙂
@beat
I wish I knew why. That makes no sense to me.
@frameworkcomputer @debian
@frameworkcomputer poor guy just wanted to turn off the pc 

@frameworkcomputer when can I get one?

"Not available in your region" WTF?

@worik
It is still in development. I assume it is not available in any region.
@frameworkcomputer

@frameworkcomputer I recommend sudo for running shutdown. ;)

Which kernel is this booting - stock Debian, or a starfive or visionfive2 tree?

@frameworkcomputer That pcb looks so tiny!
Can you fit it into a tablet like format?
