It's been an extremely hectic month what with visiting Barcelona for the 8th
RISC-V Workshop and finally procuring DDR3x8 DRAM. Card production is finally underway and we now have a realistic target for delivery.
Here's the latest from the Precursor team, including an update on supply chain issues, keyboard samples, and more. Plus an in-depth look at how we implemented "Suspend/Resume" functionality.
Nearly three years ago, we launched HiFive Unleashed, the world’s
first RISC-V-based, Linux-capable development board. Today, we're
excited to announce its successor, HiFive Unmatched.
Brief update this time as it's nearly time to get to Taipei Airport. Am on the way to Brussels - a little early - so as to be reasonably timezone-synced for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
We're excited to announce the launch of the Icicle Kit: the first development board for Microchip's groundbreaking PolarFire SoC, the world's first FPGA and Linux-capable RISC-V system in a single chip. Together at last!
Mike has placed the order for 500 Micro Desktop PCBs and 1,000 EOMA68-A20 PCBs. The last of the components have been ordered and are on the way. What follows is a summary of what's to be delivered.
Thank you so much for making the HiFive1 board a huge success! The passion that all of you have demonstrated for open-source, RISC-V, and us, has brightened our holidays and made us proud to have worked so hard on this project.
Intel stops the Compute Card. Mike has started the EOMA68-A20 Cards,
and soldering connectors on the Micro Desktops. NLnet Foundation
looking for a way to fund EOMA68 within their remit.
Pixilica starts a 3D Open Graphics Alliance initiative; we decide to
go with a "reconfigurable" pipeline; seven additional 50,000 EUR NLNet
grant proposals submitted.
Learn how to turn the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board into a drag-n-drop FPGA loader using open-source software. Let's see if we can get openFPGAloader to work as originally intended last year.
