Follow up to my post a while back about cost effective equivalents of Amazon Echo units. This might not be as sophisticated in terms of the microphone array but may have potential for £30. And it has a round touch screen on top.

(EDIT: Apparently no WiFi, but there's an existing ESP32-S3 version that does)

#riscv doesn't quite have the speed/$ or speed/j to really justify going in a #homelab for anything other than an experiment just yet, right?

I'm still keen on getting a small riscv server setup happening, but I can't justify the price to build one just yet if it's not going to work for my needs for at least a few years, and not in a position to get it just to experiment at the moment.

Fix grunt-cli #RISCV cross compilation on #NixOS 🛠️ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/472069

Once again I faced with the following error trying to boot GNU Guix from a MicroSD card on my VisionFive2 board:
waiting for partition '31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833' to appear...

Interestingly, I was able to boot to this image just few days ago. It seems that the difference is just in the u-boot parameters:

India unveils a homegrown dual-core 1GHz RISC-V processor

https://piefed.social/c/hardware/p/1578122/india-unveils-a-homegrown-dual-core-1ghz-risc-v-processor

India advances as a chip manufacturer with new dual core RISC-V offering. IT Sovereignty continues to unfold in the world. Between this, China, the European Processor Initiative, etc. we’re going to need tech like LLVM and WASM to mediate the heterogeneity.

Доверенные АСУ ТП на базе RISC-V: от ядра к экосистеме

В конце ноября Российский Альянс RISC-V при участии «Группы Астра» и Baikal Electronics, собрал на одной площадке разработчиков чипов, производителей АСУ ТП, разработчиков ОС, инструментов разработки и конечных заказчиков. Повод - круглый стол "Доверенные АСУ ТП на базе RISC-V: от технологического ядра к промышленной экосистеме". И специально для вас мы собрали краткую выжимку самого интересного из обсуждений проходивших на мероприятии. Всем кому интересно - добро пожаловать под кат!

LilyGo T-Display P4 handheld has an ESP32-P4 RISC-V processor and a 4.1 inch display

The LilyGo T-Display P4 is a pocket-sized device with a 4.1 inch display that looks like a smartphone from the front. But turn it sideways and it’s clear that this chunky handheld is more of a dev kit than a phone. It measures 22mm (0.9 inches) thick and has full-sized Ethernet and USB Type-A ports, as well as accessible GPIO and QWIIC expansion connectors.

But it’s what’s inside that […]

So now I can boot straight into a barebones GNU Guix system on my StarFive VisionFIve 2 RISC-V board from a MicroSD card. I had to patch "gnu/bootloader/u-boot.scm" in Guix to make this work:

No success with eMMC yet; it would be nice to create an image that works with eMMC as well.
