Ubuntu 22.10 Now Runs on Sipeed’s LicheeRV D1 RISC-V Linux Single-Board Computer
Canonical continues to expand its RISC-V offering for Ubuntu with LicheeRV D1 (Dock), Sipeed’s first RISC-V Linux single-board computer (SBC) that features a modular design and exported interfaces. The LicheeRV D1 board appears to offer a small footprint and an affordable price (~$6.7 USD) compared to other RISC-V SBCs.
Sipeed is another Chinese company that focuses on the mass production of open-source RISC-V hardware, as well as AIoT/TinyML applications. Its LicheeRV D1 board was released on November 2021 and it’s targeted at TinyML developers, featuring HDMI and USB ports, a 40-pin HAT-style GPIO header, a built-in mic, an FPC connector for a mic array, a speaker port, a reset button, and one extra button.
