Hopefully it won't take long to get at least the keyboard working and a text terminal on the screen. And network. That would be enough to make it a worthwhile purchase for me.

If it is using the same JH7110 SoC as the VisionFive 2 (which I already have two of) and the Star64 then it should already have Debian/Ubuntu running on it, accessible via UART and ssh.

I'm not a developer nor do I know any code but I am seriously excited about the RISC-V one. I love the idea of open hardware that isn't tied to a proprietary license and doesn't have backdoors and opaque modules buried in it. Just a cpu that anyone with the know-how can write drivers and software for, knowing the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Pine64's latest tablets, the PineTab2 and PineTab-V, will officially launch on April 11 starting at US$159. The PineTab2 is a fully-fledged Linux tablet running on a Rockchip RK3566 SoC, while the PineTab-V is a highly experimental early product that uses a RISC-V chip.
