Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ExplainingComputers says : USB PORTS UPDATE! Today StarFive have released a new datasheet for the VisionFive 2, indicating an upgrade to the specification. All four USB ports are now USB 3.0 (rather than two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0). So all of the ports are correctly coloured. The new datasheet is at: https://doc-en.rvspace.org/VisionFive2/PDF/VisionFive2_Datasheet.pdf>> <<@allstar7778 says : too expensive>> <<@mariandecker3942 says : I might get this board as a Basic Firewall/Router :D>> <<@TymexComputing says : 18:25 - please tell me what doest that strange pronounciation give? earlier pronounciations of "So!' i can hear the same on hikaru nakamura streams and it really bothers me to know :) - Thank you in advance!>> <<@JibunnoKage-YouTube-Channel says : Did I hear that right? 1 Ethernet is only 100Mb/s? Still, nice to see RISC moving into the Pi3/4 space. NVME slot is a big plus.>> <<@PixelMaker04 says : picked up a bundle from Amazon. the Debian image has been updated to Debian 11 Gnome from the StarFive team. I did have to expand the microsd partition 4, but that was fairly easy enough to figure out. still poking around to see what it can do.>> <<@eax0xFF says : Thanks a lot for the video. Can you tell something about cooler / radiator ? You use it, but is is necessary? Can VF2 work without radiator / cooler ? Is it save?>> <<@sorphin says : and.. just like the Mango.. prices have gone up... :(>> <<@carlfranz6805 says : How come noone discussed the GPU and where it came from?>> <<@mihailvormittag6211 says : 👍>> <<@fakecubed says : I appreciate all this RISC-V content on your channel. I'm a big cheerleader for RISC-V and the more people getting the word out and tinkering with these boards, the better.>> <<@xhivo97 says : This one and the pine64 star64 could potentially be great router candidates because of the dual gigabit ports. The thing is, I can't find much information about it's ethernet capabilities. Also looks like a lot of stuff has been mainlined for this devices in 6.5 I think. The pine64 is a bit cheaper at $69.99. Kernel 6.5 wasn't released when this video was made so maybe a revisit for this SoC would be interesting? Although maybe it's better to wait for the remaining stuff to get mainlined too as they are in review (but have been for quite awhile so idk...)>> <<@GlennStory says : You mentioned in this video that you could not change the size of the fonts in the terminal emulator. I had the same problem. I eventually solved it by installing the XFCE terminal emulator. (Why id isn't installed initially with XFCE is a mystery.)>> <<@mandroid-rb4uy says : Hello good morning Christopher>> <<@boringsoftware2093 says : Thanks for testing :D #Excellent work! :D (it is a lot of work :D)>> <<@autohmae says : Well, Debian now has an official RISC-V architecture. 🙂>> <<@MarquisDeSang says : On ameridroid they are selling a wifi-version now.>> <<@잠자는역병의사 says : Which Debian image file did you use? I bought this and tried to run it, but got an error while booting Debian on sd card.>> <<@Dobrufusnoretro says : I want to get a risk V computer so much now. Wish in future I could build a desktop pc but with risk V architecture :D>> <<@alexandermcalpine says : Great post! I hope you can revisit this!>> <<@ratikanta_rath says : Are you brother of Bill Gates? You look similar.>> <<@davidculp6266 says : Mine arrived in March and booted up into Debian without any problems. I built an ran some simulation software that I'm familiar with, and overall have had a great time with it. It is a bit slow running from the SD card, so I'm hoping soon we'll be able to boot from the NVMe card instead. I'm eagerly awaiting a case and fan that I ordered from AliExpress. It appears that nobody on this planet makes a fan which plugs into the fan header, so people are using the GPIO for that. I'm using Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse via a USB dongle.>> <<@laikesagores3258 says : Many Thanks!!>> <<@alchemik2010 says : youtube is runing on that?>> <<@mathewsren9712 says : Buenisimos videos master! Un saludo!>> <<@brucefrizzell4221 says : I really like the online support of visionfive . It is clearly written and useful . Very rare these days .>> <<@freakinccdevilleiv380 says : Excellent video. Is there any Risc-V SoC with integrated Dram yet?>> <<@JoeyGarcia says : Can't wait to get FreeBSD or OpenBSD running on one of these things. FreeBSD has had RISC-V support since 2016 but appears that drivers for specific hardware on this boards needs to catch up. Interesting that both BSD and RISC-V came out of UC Berkeley.>> <<@y2kready says : Did you burn the Debian image yourself or did the OS came preinstalled on that card? Best video on youtube on the VisionFive 2! Thanks>> <<@IngwiePhoenix_nb says : Can't wait to find someone making an SBC capable of acting as a "switch with a brain". I use an old Razer Sila in bridge mode, and since Razer's (quite useless in this situation xD) support can't tell me who manufactured it so I could turn to them to inquire about uploading my own OpenWrt image to it, I am looking to replace it to use as a SATIP (minisatip) server - and I even have a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD I could plop into it for booting! Seriously impressed with RISCV and looking forward to see what chips we see in the future!>> <<@udaaz says : Very good 👍>> <<@zeffster2 says : the political climate with china is unfortunate. I find I am suspicious of this otherwise promising risc-v thing and I would love nothing more then to be all in with this initiative. but ill stay away and hope for better times, politically>> <<@marks7502 says : droll wit>> <<@Curiosity-108 says : Very nice and clear explanations as always!I'd like to have a risc-v as desktop sbc running on debian for a general copmuting.And that is just around the corner i believe. And hope at the same time :) Thanks for another great video on sbcs!>> <<@Johann75 says : Why not simply buy an old x86?>> <<@pleappleappleap says : I wonder if there are any RISC-V core microcontrollers for Arduino-like devices?>> <<@pleappleappleap says : Could you please review the AxiomTek KIWI310 SBC?>> <<@SlykeThePhoxenix says : What's the power consumption like?>> <<@PuFF1kPuF says : Nice board! how many wats does it use when resting in Linux with desktop?>> <<@MichaelOfRohan says : Lmfao the 2 gig can be obtained for no less than 99 dollars.>> <<@nippleofanape says : mixed emotions. Finally got mine aftre a long time of waiting... and it doesn't boot. Quite a few people on forum have the same issue.>> <<@Bubu567 says : Doesn't look like the UI is being accelerated at all. That's good news, as once they get the GPU acceleration working things can only improve.>> <<@englishrupe01 says : Many thanks for the video, Chris, and a great development in sbc's for sure. However, what impact do you think Intel's quiet announcement on Jan 31st that it is quitting RISC-V development going to have on this area? Will it die off, or is the community strong enough to carry it through? Thanks.>> <<@The1RandomFool says : I'd like RISC-V to be a viable alternative to Intel and AMD for a full desktop computer some day.>> <<@JohnBobafeet says : Documentation. How well are these boards documented? I have 6 rp4s collecting dust because the raspberry pi refused (as probably is still refusing) to release the documentation I need to integrate them safely. Is StarFive willing to provide all the documentation to device owners? If so, I'll buy some as soon as support is included in mainline linux/debian.>> <<@andrewcameron4172 says : I suggest you install gentoo on it and do some performance tests with it against a raspberry pi 4 also running gentoo. I think the results will surprise you>> <<@LaurieKreynolds says : Thanks for the exciting report. How does power demand of Vision5 compare withan RPi4 running same applications?>> <<@DragonEgg11 says : Merci!>> <<@_droid says : I wish TSMC would get involved with RISC-V. Maybe compete against Ampere and Apple M. Raspberry is dying if not dead already; too greedy; too proprietary.>> <<@yloibx says : can I use it as mini pc for 4k tv? can it play 4k videos such as videos streaming platforms netflix, disney+ etc?>>
