Looks pretty good opensource-wise, right? Some linux fork with ton of patches but hopefully most of that will get upstreamed, and except that I found no weird blobs or proprietary crap.

I think it will push to upstream ASAP.

Does anyone know if this SBC contains RISC-V Worldguard capabilities (https://www.sifive.com/technology/shield-soc-security)? I've been looking for a RISC-V SBC with a way to protect asymmetric keys. The new ESP32 has a dedicated key storage.

The SoC docs indicate: • 512 × 32-bit (2 KB) of OTP for key data on-die storage

But, that sounds like it's for the likes of secureboot.

I haven't looked at the v2 but they seemed to be doing an alright job at getting things upstreamed with the v1. the only thing i remember seeing that wasn't very good in that regard was the neural net stuff that they had and that seemed more from just issues getting the hardware working than any nda or lack of desire to do it. I'd hope that the v2 is similarly worked through even if it needs some non-upstream patches at the start just because it's new hardware and it takes time.

I received mine weeks ago.

There are several desktop images but various issues reported from no display output, to only 1080p supported. To this image or that one working.

Important note, the later images require an updated to uboot and SPL, either with the bootrom or a serial connection.

It's a mess at the moment!
