seems to be getting a lot of press right now, so now's the time to buy before they run out, even with a 3 month wait time...

Aww. I read that as a RISC-V module which fits in raspberry pi compute module carrier board.
<Sofia>
Really want this. Anyone know if there is any reason why it could not happen? ARM pinout-details? Patents or design licenses?
<Sofia>
pinout or protocol*
<gordonDrogon>
I think they already have that - it does look like the RISC-V "module" plugs into a socket with a form factor not a million miles from the Pi's CM3 module ...
<gordonDrogon>
The 200pin SODIMM interface is compatible with CPI v3.14 mainboard
<gordonDrogon>
which doesn't say Pi CM3 compatible, however I suspect it might just be compatible, but I've really lost touch with Pi stuff as of late.

The CPI 3.14 board is compatible with the CM3, might just be a case of the base board being compatible with both rather than the boards being compatible with each other
<The_Decryptor>
"clockworkPi v3.14 is compatible with the Raspberry Pi CM3 series, which means that your work on the Raspberry Pi can be "teleported" to a portable terminal in seconds."

At least as long as you're using the ClockworkPi board they're interchangeable

it might be interesting to see if that is actually possible - my scant knowledg of what people are using the Pi CM3 for seems to be advertising type boards and "smart" TVs, etc.

fwiw the cpu itself seems to be an Allwinner D1, which is a riscv C906 core
<gordonDrogon>
looks to be a reasonable core to me, but I've no expert...

solrize: using thermal printers to leave messages for elderly family members is sadistically cruel. they fade over a few years, like a physical metaphor for senile dementia
<muurkha>
maybe your mom is young so that doesn't apply

ugh. I remember that about thermal paper - also some supermarkets here got criticism for using it for their receipts - they faded out after about 6 months...

muurkha, it is not for permanent messages, just for quick ones because she is hearing impaired and can't receive phone calls, and she isn't always good about checking email. The main alternative I had been thinking of was an e-paper display, which is even more ephemeral than thermal print
<solrize>
i wonder how label printers work, they kind they use on prescription bottles. those don't fade.
<solrize>
i hate ink jet printers since the ink cartridges dry out
<muurkha>
I think some are inkjet and others are dot-matrix. lots of receipt printers are dot-matrix too
<solrize>
impact printer has a little bit of attraction, but they are big and noisy
<muurkha>
dot-matrix ribbons usually last a pretty long time
<muurkha>
dot-matrix receipt printers are instead small and noisy
<solrize>
i think label printers are thermal in some way, but they may use special media
<rm>
is any of this RISC-V related?
<muurkha>
rm: vaguely yeah, the DevTerm is coming out with a RISC-V version based on the Allwinner D1
<muurkha>
and it has a thermal printer
<solrize>
yeah it is kind of interesting but i think meh. also its V extension is from before the standard, and apparently is not quite compatible
<muurkha>
hvae you looked at the V extension itself, btw?
<courmisch>
it's nice to hand-program in, compared to NEON, not to speak of x86 stuff
<courmisch>
but I don't know about the actual performance
<courmisch>
my U74-MC has no V, and that hurts
<muurkha>
what's the high-level view? I understand you have these giant vector registers
<courmisch>
they're not giant
<muurkha>
and they're supposed to keep you from having to care how big the actual hardware registers are?
<courmisch>
they're just variable size
<courmisch>
I don't expect that they'll be particularly large in the first implementations, or really any non-HPC implementation
