🦾 Pine64's RISC-V tablet now ships with a Debian-based Linux distro and improved hardware
—@liliputing_

｢ Pine64 says it’s also fixed a problem with slow charging when the tablet is powered off. And the default operating system that comes pre-installed is now a Debian-based GNU/Linux distro developed and maintained by StarFive, the company that makes the StarFive JH7110 processor used in the tablet ｣

🦾 Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform
—The Register

｢ A 38-strong group of tech players have founded a project with the snappy name Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe, aka DARE, that aims to develop processor units to power the continent’s supercomputers and other high-performance machines ｣

⚠️ Dropping RISC-V support

｢ Overall, it seems the whole RISC-V industry/market seems to be overly busy with advertising how they perform in AI to release something that is actually worthwhile as a build machine. I have waited patiently, but my patience has run out and I can no longer keep this up ｣

chimera-linux.org/news/2025/03

Chimera Linux · Dropping RISC-V supportThe next set of images will drop RISC-V support. The builder is currently still going but within the next few days it will stop, and the repositories will stay in place but frozen. Nothing will change in packaging (the build profile will remain, template support where present will remain, cross-toolchains will remain) but there will be no more updates to the repo for the foreseeable future.

Alibaba's research arm, DAMO Academy, has launched its first server-grade processor, the C930, designed for high-performance computing and aimed at rivaling Intel and AMD's offerings.

The open-source design of RISC-V makes it an attractive choice for Chinese firms like Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent, who are reducing their reliance on foreign suppliers due to increasing US trade restrictions. The C930 is expected to begin shipping to clients later in March 2025.

RISC-V mini AI PC that fits inside a Framework laptop shell revealed

DeepComputing has developed a reputation as a pioneer of small form factor RISC-V PCs. The company is now accepting pre-orders for its newest product, a mini AI PC that can replace the mainboard of the Framework Laptop 13.

The device will be based a mystery SoC with a 64-bit 8-core RISC-V CPU running at up to 2 GHz, along with an NPU, GPU, and VPU to cover all of the AI bases. The mini PC supports up to 64GB of LPDDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs.

The only SoC that advertizes the same specs is Eswin Computing's EIC7702X, which is two Eswin EIC7700Xs stuck together. The dual-CPUs, two 4-core SiFive Performance P550s, are rated for up to 1.8 GHz each, paired with GPUs based on Imagination IP.

The device will start at $300 on its release in Q3 2025, with a $9.90 deposit required today. If it follows the pattern of the first DC-ROMA Framework mainboard, it will likely be sold as a standalone board, inside a mini-PC enclosure, or pre-assembled inside a Framework Laptop 13.

European Union too: https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/07/dare_europe_risc_v_project/

So as we see in Reuters article, Some US people in gvt would like to block it and ask to US companies to not work on it... If they do they will definitively lost the next CPU train. India, Pakistan, Russia, and probably lot of other countries work on it too. Switzerland (in middle of, but not in political E.U., where the fondation moved during last Trump presidency for it's own protection), have university of Zurich that work on PULP platform a 100% open source #RISCV plaform, all HDL code is available on GitHub. ESA (European space agency use RISC-V in space since 2 years too. I believe NASA too, more recently, but they will probably stop it, and not get benefit of the whole planet scholars work so.

🐼 China to publish policy to boost RISC-V chip use nationwide, sources say
—@Reuters

｢ China plans to issue guidance to encourage the use of open-source RISC-V chips nationwide for the first time, two sources briefed on the matter said, as Beijing accelerates efforts to curb the country's dependence on Western-owned technology ｣

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences initiated the XiangShan project in 2019 to create an open-source RISC-V processor. The XiangShan processor core, which has gained significant attention on GitHub, has received support from various companies and the formation of a group for its development.

The XiangShan Project plans to advance its microarchitecture through a dual development team approach, focusing on agile development and yearly taped-out test chips.

China plans to issue a policy to encourage the use of RISC-V chips nationwide for the first time. The policy is being drafted by eight government bodies, including the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. China has been embracing RISC-V in recent years due to its lower costs and geopolitical neutrality.

It'll be interesting to see where this takes us, hopefully towards wide-scale adoption of RISC-V not just by China. Europe would benefit massively by ploughing money into our industrial base and developing a domestic semi-conductor supply chain that is independent of the Americans. Certainly would have more long-term benefits than buying masses of arms.
