RISC-V on MNT closer than expected?
===================================
There was some discussion on social networks about the MilkV [1] board.
It's a board which is physically compatible with the RapsberryPi
Compute Module. Thus (in the ideal case) can be used with the MNT's CM4
adapter board [2]. Nobody have tried it (yet) as the MilkV is only in
an pre-order phase. There can be surprises and performance will be
probably worse than performance of the MNT's original CPU board bud one
never know. The CPU is similar to the SiFive 2's [3] one thus one can
expect similar performance.
In case that thinks will go well it may be a way to the first actual
RISC-V laptop. Anyone is going to try that?
