6 of 6 people found this helpfulI also noticed this today as well, I've asked if we're going to carry and sell this board, with any accessories.
Early discussions on groups about it are whether or not it's as open source as it claims to be, and what documentation's available.
The capabilities of it look sufficiently scalable, running in a kind of basic mode you can probably use the board 'as is' but getting it to do anything intensely heavy and you'll need added cooling or something to wick away the thermal properties.

raspberrypitechguy Jan 13, 2021 5:19 PM (in response to mp2100)looks like a decently capable board, spotted on twitter as well.
It is open source, but I did recall arturo182 (the guy who makes solder party stuff) did mention about a closed source, patented connector.

ajcc Jan 14, 2021 1:40 AM (in response to mp2100)It's neat that there will both a small RISC-V based SBC alternative along with the more powerful HiFive Unmatched mini-ITX desktop board in 2021
This is great news for Linux on RISC-V.
It's also interesting that they put a lot of machine learning peripherals into the Beagle-V, especially when it has two camera interfaces supporting 4K30FPS sensors. So I'm hopeful that it will be a good and more open alternative to the nVidia Jetson boards.

Now sporting a different brand of processor core, that's a change.

I suspect there's a bit of a shake up going on considering arm is being purchased by nvidia.

Well, it's not a Beaglebone, Not really a Beagleboard. But beagleboard.org was involved in creating it
https://beagleboard.org/beaglev
With the concerns about Nvidia owning ARM, this RiscV gives everyone alternatives.
