> You wouldn’t want to build a Linux kernel for hours on a RISC-V single-board computer praying that you don’t run out of RAM…
URL goes to the 3 1/2 year old Nezha with single core and 1 GB RAM.
In January delivery started for a RISC-V single-board computer (mini-ITX) with 64 2.0 GHz OoO cores (comparable to the Arm A72 in the Pi 4 or the first gen Amazon Graviton (which had only 16 cores)), with 128 GB RAM and 32X PCIe Gen 4.
Ok, that cost $2500 for a fully prebuilt ready to go system, but for $150 you can get 4 core OoO 1.85 GHz or 8 core in order dual-issue 1.6 GHz SBCs (i.e. like Arm A72 or A55) with 16 GB RAM and M.2 SSD.
Or, if you want to use the computer you already have, you can do "native" builds of RISC-V software in Docker running any of a variety of RISC-V Linux distros, using all the cores and RAM your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC has. The individual emulated (qemu) cores might be only similar to or a little slower than the above-mentioned SBCs, but maybe you have 16, 64, or more cores on your PC.
