4 months agoLooks cool. I’m nervous RISC-V will have the same issue ARM has; one vendor with a large community becomes the default option among the hundreds of other RISC-V branded e-waste.
Mayhaps Intel didn’t see the
need
(profitability) in such an undertaking. When you have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, with community and documentation settled nicely on the market, one does not simply undertake such odds.I’m certain that the market isn’t eagerly waiting, with bated breath, to purchase x86 SBCs just because GPIO is included in the package.
ARM (The Raspberry Pi foundation specifically) currently has the momentum in that market. When you want compute, you x86. When you want to signal the thing that computes, low powered ARM SBCs are currently the jobby.
