$149 BEAGLEV IS A POWERFUL AND OPEN-HARDWARE RISC-V LINUX SBC

Two reliable parties, BeagleBoard.org foundation, and Seeed Studio have partnered with a leading RISC-V solutions provider, StarFive, to design the most affordable Linux-capable RISC-V SBC called BeagleV. So now, you don’t have to spend several hundred dollars, or even over a thousand dollars to have a complete system that runs Linux on RISC-V hardware.

The $149 BeagleV is a perfect edge computing device with powerful AI performance. The board is equipped with RISC-V U74 dual-core with 2MB L2 cache @ 1.0GHz with 8GB of LPDDR memory, ISP/NNE, PCle 3.0, GbE, and dedicated hardware encoder/decoder supporting H.264 4k@60fps. The processor offers rich and powerful AI features including the Vision DSP Tensilica-VP6 for computing vision,  NVDLA engine, and the neural network engine.
