Waveshare VisionFive2 RISC-V Single Board Computer, StarFive JH7110 Processor, with Integrated 3D GPU, 8GB LPDDR4 RAM, 40PIN GPIO interface, Compatible with Raspberry Pi (with WiFi Module)

Currently playing around with Ubuntu’s server build for this board. So far, so good! Now awaiting newer kernel versions with upstreamed drivers :)

Nice board for experimenting with RISCV; note that m.2 connector allows NVMe drives to attach but has only 1 lane of PCIe 2.0. Now shipping rev 1.3b; various online reviews citing difficulties and the need to update the firmware have been addressed. Note that the default DIP switch settings will NOT work for eMMC or micro-SD booting. I have used both NVMe devices as root (boot not supported yet for NVMe), as well as using a m.2 to PCIe adapter to attach expansion cards. Boots Debian pre-built images and I had no issues building my own Gentoo images. The only draw back is performance - set your expectations appropriately. Current GeekBench scores are 78 for single core and 276 for multicore... kind of disappointing compared to the RockChip ARM offerings and a bit slower than a Raspberry Pi 4. Note also that the RISCV ISA defines LOTS of optional features... things like bi-endian support are optional and not implemented on the JH7110.
