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

>>apple4+(OP)
Even bigger brands such as Nvidia seem to expect us to recycle SBCs every couple years.

The Jetson Nano launched with Ubuntu 18.04, today, this is still the only officially supported distro for it. I have no reason to think this would be different with the Orin and Thor series, or even with the DGX Spark with its customized Ubuntu/"DGX OS".

>>apple4+(OP)
The NanoPi models from FriendlyElec tend to have better support.

I still don't understand why they couldn't support them properly. There are so many situations in which they could be better than alternatives, only to be hamstring by the poorest OS support.

You see, a small startup like NVIDIA just doesn't have the budget to support their older devices the same way a multi-trillion dollar company like Raspberry Pi can.

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
