Ask fedi: There are a few "raspi-like" boards built with riscv, but a) is there a decently working one, and b) is there a raspbian-like distro to go with it?

@monsieuricon I have StartFive VisionFive 2. I'm looking forward to BeagleV.

@monsieuricon I've so far only experimented kernel testing with it. For the most part I still go for QEMU and RISC-V emulation...

@monsieuricon i'm looking for affordable FPGA board that could be used to test RISC-V (with extensions) :-) i think that and QEMU would be the optimal for the most kernel needs I have.

@monsieuricon None of the RPi-likes are particularly good in terms of upstream kernel support. The VisionFive 2 is nearly there & you can run some distros on it - Ubuntu is probably the best choice. It's a bit lacking performance wise compared to the recent RPi stuff though, but nothing else SBC-wise right now runs on anything close to an upstream kernel and is compatible with standard userland.

@monsieuricon Unfortunately, we are still stuck with either expensive devboards or SBCs that you need to be either a) happy with running random vendor everything on, or b) okay with pulling together something yourself from patches. At least for the VisionFive 2 @esmil has a tree that's mainline-aligned, containing all the peripheral stuff that is almost-ready-but-waiting-on-dependencies, but that's not accessible to anyone other than other kernel hackers...
