Re: Allwinner D1 riscv64 mango pi SBC
Peter I understand losing the "warm and fuzzy" feeling. I lost mine too in mid-June when I spent 12 days in hospital and have no recollection of the first 4 days in hospital, but that is a story for another day. :-) I just sent an email to several OpenBSD developers to ping them regarding interest in MangoPi h/w. 73 diana KI5PGJ On Thu, Jul 20, 2023 at 2:42 AM Peter J.

Anyone else willing to put in some money? I don't know how to go about this best, should I pay my pledge to openbsdfoundation with the explicit request that this should go toward these? Or how would we escrow this? Does OpenBSD have the means of ordering from AliExpress? I still have an outstanding pledge to OpenBSD of 5 EUR, which I'll pay when or if OpenBSD 7.4 gets ED448 support. I'm really hoping it will go in before the release so that I can adjust my software accordingly for this year (my release is in November/December).

Re: Allwinner D1 riscv64 mango pi SBC
Hi Peter I don't have a lot of spare money lately, last week extensive car repair and the home air conditioner failed last week, however I can contribute funds for quantity 1 and maybe 2 Mango Pi. Perhaps some one else can help too. diana On July 16, 2023 1:13:02 PM MDT, "Peter J.

This will take a bit, I'm in talks to get a new job soon, which will put extra money in my pocket. Then I may be able to get a handful of these perhaps. Do you still keep tabs on Shivam, Mars, Brian, and Wenyan? Are they still interested in riscv64 after the initial port with yours and Dales guidance? I think I paid something like 30 EUR for a Mango Pi from AliExpress buying 4 would work but I can only do this when I have secured the job.

I don't think it's too technical. The existing hw-specific lists aren't really that widely used so there doesn't seem a lot of point in setting up another.
