Yea this is what I was saying whan I talked about the risc-v ecosistem isn’t competitive (at the moment). For me the bests boards at the moment are the based in the spacemmit k1, supports the majority of the rv23 profile extensions (not everything, and for this reason not will be compatible with the new versions for Ubuntu), and full rv22, including rvv 1.0. I have an orange pi rv2 (they use a renamed k1 for some weird reason), and works very well… For 50$, not for more

Yes, it’s a difficult situation to get out. I think the ecosystem is growing very fast, but enough fast for the ubuntu way? I don’t think so

This boards haven’t got the rv23 necessary extensions, and aren’t competitive, they are expensive for their performance. There only one attractive is the risc-v cpu for learning, etc

I think this can be a good idea in… 5 years maybe? It will only works on qemu, witch board suppose to have this things? I only know one board with all of thins things in ARM, risc-v is too young. I can’t imagine a competitive risc-v board at the moment

I’m using a orange pi rv2 and reading the patterson-waterman risc-v book (it’s free): http://www.riscvbook.com/

I have other boards less powerful, but the rv2 is more funny and have the vector extension

Or a more old hardware friendly system like netBSD

Apparently the dbt for the Ubuntu image confirmed the x1 CPU a clone for the spacemit k1
