I don't like RISC-V unless it has a good GPU
GPUs are [effectively] irrelevant for many use cases (IoT, embedded, most servers, etc)

they all suck. someone needs to make an open source gpu already, its been way too long.
And there have been some others as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_...

Part of the problem is that every ASIC manufacturer (and indeed each fabrication process) has a different toolchain with a different set of primitives for circuit design. Yosys and other open tooling for FPGAs has helped a great deal in lowering the barrier to chip design and by association reuse of circuits. But every ASIC, at the moment, is tied to some vendor's PDK. Here's the one Google open sourced for Cypress Semi's SKY130 process node: https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk

It's probably a series of patent landmines...

#15Are there any SBC with memory slot so that i can plug in 32GiB or more of RAM?

Regarding RISC-V SBCs, there was serious consideration to release the Milk-V Oasis with SG2380 and LPCAMM2. But this didn't work out as the SG2380 was held up by geopolitical issues.

#17Not bad at all, but the OpenWRT image still didn’t have Wi-Fi support a week or so ago, so I don’t know how good software support is going to be in the long run.

#18I keep seeing suggestions that theres no software support for Orange Pi. Whats the go there? Is there no distro like Raspbian supporting it?

They provide official OS images at release but don't care much afterwards.

#202 TOPS is not a lot for AI projects.
