A new toy to explore
From lot of time now, I think more than 2 years, I reading stuffs regarding RISC-V CPU and instruction. Since I did lot of work on ARM devboard and create some package for my NAS for example I would like to test RISC-V too.
And I found this Vision Five 2 board card and I bought one ! The Vision Five 2 is a RISC-V development board created by StarFive
Overview of the hardware
The waveshare wiki page tell us :
- Onboard RV64GC ISA Quad-core 64-bit SoC, operating frequency up to 1.5GHz
- VisionFive 2 supports OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL ES 3.2, and Vulkan 1.2.
- It is available in 4GB/8GB LPDDR4 RAM options and an optional wireless module.
- It has multiple onboard interfaces, including M.2 / CSI / DSI / HDMI / eMMC / USB 3.0 / 40PIN GPIO / RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port / TF card slot, etc.
- Supports 4K@60fps and H264/H265 multi-stream video decoding, 1080p@30fps and H265 multi-stream video encoding.
- Onboard 40PIN GPIO header, VisionFive2 is compatible with Raspberry Pi series boards.
- Provides wide software compatibility including support for Debian.
Need some help ?
