Quad-core Risc-V development board with 3D GPU in Pico-ITX
VisionFive 2 from Shanghai-based StarFive is a 64bit quad-core RISC-V single-board computer with 3D graphics.
www.electronicsweekly.com, Jan. 10, 2023 –
Based on the company's own JH7110 multimedia processor, it has interfaces including: dual Ethernet, DVP, MIPI, HDMI, PCIe, USB (2×3.0, 2×2.0), SDIO and stereo audio output – as well as a 40pin GPIO header.
The JH7110 SoC has the company's U74 processor (left), which has RV64GC cores and 2Mbyte of L2 cache running at up to 1.5GHz, plus an Imatination Technologies GPU and H264/H265 video.
It is this IC that handles PCIE2.0, HDMI2.0, MIPI CSI RX, MIPI DSI TX, USB3.0/2.0 and Gbit Ethernet.
Board versions are planned with 2, 4 or 8Gbyte of ram, and for flash there is a TF card slot and a M-key M.2 connector.
The company is porting Debian Linux to it.
It is early days for RISC-V single-board computers (SBCs) and the RISC-V ecosystem and potential users should expect to put in more development work compared with using x86 SBCs or even Raspberry Pis. Depending how it turns out, VisionFive 2 might add a reasonably-priced RISC-V application development board to this ecosystem.
