My experience with the OrangePi 4 LTS has been poor, and I'm unwilling to purchase more of their hardware. Mine is now running Armbian because I didn't care for the instability, or for the Chinese repos.

They seem uninterested in trying to get their hardware supported by submitting their patches for inclusion in the Linux kernel, and popular distros. Instead, you have to trust their repos (based in PRC).

That's always the problem with these non-Pi SBCs. They never have good software support.

Olimex does provide both open source hardware and open source software for example: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/STMP1/STMP157-OLin...

Open source hardware is such a fascinating concept, I had thought of such examples but I always assumed they would be the case of risc-v chips, I wonder how it's an arm chip

I always thought that one day we will get completely open source risc-v chips that if another company wants, they can create in their own chip-making process (I imagine it to be beyond extremely difficult but still it opens up a pathway)

what's the progress of risc-v nowadays?

Also Can you please link me other such projects like this, it would be good to have a bookmark/list of all such projects too
