First Linux-Based RISC-V Board Prepares for Take-Off (Linux.com)

Eric Brown takes a look at the SiFive "HiFive Unleashed" SBC that runs Linux on its RISC-V based, quad-core, 1.5GHz U540 SoC. "The open spec HiFive Unleashed board integrates a U540 SoC, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and 32MB quad SPI flash. The only other major features include a microSD slot, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and an FMC connector for future expansion. A SiFive rep confirmed to Linux.com that the board will be open source hardware, with freely available schematics and layout files."
