RISC-V is a free processor architecture provided under Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) licenses that do not require fees to use. Therefore, anyone can manufacture devices utilizing RISC-V without patent and copyright issues associated with other chipset architectures. RISC-V devices are of interest to Tari due to their FOSS ecosystems.
- PINE64 Star64
Tari has not yet been tested on this device and will need to be compiled from source for the risc64 architecture.
Star64 is a RISC-V based Single Board Computer powered by StarFive JH7110 Quad-Core SiFive U74 64-Bit CPU, Imagination Technology BX-4-32 GPU and supports up to 8GB 1866MHz LPDDR4 memory. It provides an eMMC module socket, MicroSD Card slot, PCI-e, Pi-2 Bus, USB 3.0, and many other peripheral interfaces for makers to integrate with sensors and other devices.
This device has not been released yet, though PINE64 has a large FOSS community and has released RISC-V compatible boards in the past. Documentation is available on the PINE64 wiki.
