For over a half-decade ASUS has been promoting the Tinker Board gadgets as their line of Raspberry Pi alternate options. So far the ASUS Tinker Board single board computer systems have all been Arm-based whereas now they’ve launched their first RISC-V board, the Tinker V.
The ASUS Tinker V is their first RISC-V single board laptop and meant for the commercial IoT (Web of Issues) developer group. The ASUS Tinker V is about to formally run Debian Linux and Yocto whereas absolutely with time extra Linux distributions might be supported…. Being IoT targeted, there is no show help. These concerned with studying extra concerning the ASUS Tinker V can accomplish that by way of tinker-board.asus.com.
The Register notes that Asus “is providing at the least 5 years of help for Tinker V… Devoted on-site technical help can be accessible to shorten buyer growth cycles and speed up software deployment.”
The transfer exhibits that the RISC-V open-source instruction set structure continues to garner help. The final RISC-V Summit in San Jose noticed the launch of a household of datacenter-class processors primarily based on the structure from Ventana Micro Programs, whereas XMOS unveiled new high-performance microcontrollers utilizing RISC-V.
In response to Asus, Tinker V samples might be accessible in Q2 of this 12 months, however it didn’t disclose a date for full availability or pricing.
