RISC-V Single Board Computers
Last Updated: 13 July 2023
Finding a Raspberry Pi single-board computer (SBC) alternative that uses RISC-V and runs Linux has been quite challenging. Below is a list which hopefully includes all current and upcoming products; this will not include any boards which are no longer in production. I'll try to keep this page updated, with a last-updated date under the header above. The requirements for this list are:
- Currently in production (or upcoming)
- Runs Linux
- No FPGAs or microcontrollers
- GPIO Header
- Ethernet or WiFi support
