I started my 2026 #JavaOnSingleBoardComputers and #JavaOnRiscV journey with two different #OrangePi boards. The 5 Ultra with #ARM processor, and RV2 with #RISCV.
Quick conclusion: Java works great on both, of course :-)

Ever since I started my #JavaOnRaspberryPi journey in 2019 for my book "Getting Started with Java on the Raspberry Pi", I've been fascinated with these tiny, inexpensive computers.
For 2026, I've set one of my goals to experiment with different types of Single-Board Computers (SBC). These boards are available with different processors based on x86, ARM, and RISC-V.
In this blog, I compare these processors:

2026 goal: experiment with #Java on #RiscV. And look what arrived on the last day of 2025! 😍😊👌🤩 #OrangePi #VisionFive #JavaOnSingleBoardComputers #JavaOnRiscV
