  • RISC-V PC Motherboard

    Here’s a mini-ITX motherboard with most of the usual trimmings (no
    integrated graphics or audio, though), but with a RISC-V CPU. So
    you’ll be using that single PCIe-x16 slot for a graphics card. Known
    to run Ubuntu.

    It’s available for pre-order <https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/milk-v-titan-mini-ix-board-with-ur-dp1000-processor-shows-risc-v-ecosystem-taking-shape-m-2-ddr4-and-pcie-card-support-form-a-kit-that-you-can-use-out-of-the-box>.
    At this stage, it seems more targeted towards developers and early
    adopters, not (yet) the mass market.

    [Milk-V Titan is the board in quesion]

    Always looking for alternatives so wondering how open source this board actually is. Ethernet, BMC, BIOS, other: binary blobs or open source?
    Doesn't seem to be a lot of information available.
