06:09 <defolos> Is there still development going on with the Beagle V?

06:10 <defolos> Or is the platform dead now?

06:10 <davidlt[m]> No really as the project was cancelled

06:10 <defolos> oh bummer

06:10 <defolos> another paperweight on my desk :(

06:14 <defolos> so what's the current preferred RISCV board for some playing around with the platform?

06:14 <davidlt[m]> Unmatched

06:15 <davidlt[m]> There will be more at some point.

06:15 <davidlt[m]> PINE64 is working on an SBC. StarFive announced multiple partnerships, but that will take some time too.

07:17 <rwmjones> morning

07:17 <rwmjones> hmm, that's news to me ..

07:17 <davidlt[m]> That was widely announced

07:18 <rwmjones> ..

07:18 <davidlt[m]> Which part is new to you?

07:18 <rwmjones> I didn't know the BV was cancelled

07:18 <davidlt[m]> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mdevaev/pikvm-v3-hat

07:19 <davidlt[m]> well, there will be a new one, just as-is the existing stuff is dead

07:19 <rwmjones> hmm that is really interesting

07:20 <davidlt[m]> They plan to have something new (different SoC) for 2022 Q1

07:21 <davidlt[m]> Also StarFive seems to partnering with multiple new companies too, I think expecting something to show up on 2021 Q3

07:22 <davidlt[m]> Thus basically SW/FW work done on BeagleV is not lost and will probably continue on a number of different platforms from different vendors

07:22 <defolos> davidlt[m]: how is that different from all the other pikvm projects out there?

07:23 <davidlt[m]> defolos: Others were DIY by anyone, this is the HW from the project itself, they finally reached a good enough state

07:24 <davidlt[m]> I will probably wait after the Kickstarter :)

07:24 <davidlt[m]> But seems they managed to collect loads of money already (surprised)

07:25 <davidlt[m]> Might jump into KS too later on

07:27 <pierce> <defolos> "another paperweight on my desk :..." <- I wouldn't consider my BeagleV a paperweight, I personally still test things on native hardware without needing to power up the Unmatched

14:45 <jimwilson> There is also the nezha board. it is slower than beaglev but more stable for me.

14:46 <davidlt[m]> yeah, but that's a complicated SoC.
