Sorta but not really? https://frame.work/products/deep-computing-risc-v-mainboard is the closest thing to that, I think, and the caveats are significant: This is very much a developer-focused board to help accelerate maturing the software ecosystem around RISC-V, so we recommend waiting for future RISC-V products if you’re looking for a consumer-ready experience. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
