@zygoon @frameworkcomputer How slow it is compared to two years old Arm hardware?
Question because risc-v people love to show how their cores are faster than ancient-should-be-forgotten Cortex-A53 cores.

@hrw @frameworkcomputer I don't know yet. I might run the new risc-v geekbench 6 and share the result soon.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer there is no rush. I assume that you are gathering questions rather than answering them.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer
Compare to raspberry pi 4/5 maybe in some tasks?
Run latest SBC-bench and compare.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from hrw@society.oftrolls.com
@hrw @frameworkcomputer You can get some sort of comparison using https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/10296802?baseline=10297650
The baseline is Pi 5.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer geek bench is parody of benchmarks

@hrw @frameworkcomputer perhaps, but it has useful breakdown and baseline view.

@zygoon @hrw @frameworkcomputer Now I wonder how it compares to the highest speced PowerBook G4
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from tobhe@bsd.network
@tobhe @hrw @frameworkcomputer I do have a G4 power-pc mac mini but I don't think @geekbench does a build for that :)
It's running Debian, not MacOS

@zygoon @hrw @frameworkcomputer @geekbench 7z b should work on both :) might be unfair though, the G4 has AltiVec support
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from tobhe@bsd.network
@zygoon @tobhe @frameworkcomputer @geekbench run SBC-bench? It does a set of benchmarks and maintainer is open for cooperation.

@hrw @zygoon @frameworkcomputer @geekbench awesome, thx! I hadn't heard of that before.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer
Does it boot generic network installer of Debian "trixie" or Fedora 41 or FreeBSD 14?
Out of the box etc.

I don't know yet. I need to see how the firmware situation looks like. From a casual look at https://github.com/DC-DeepComputing/fml13v01/releases/tag/V1.0 there's a sivife firmware file, u-boot and grub involved.
I'm starting to look at what the files contain and how to attach serial port (included).

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer Zyga, did you get your #RISC_V board on #FOSDEM, on the #DeepComputing booth?
Yuning Liang, founder of #DeepComputing, has given me one on FOSDEM, as a donation for #OpenPrinting to test the printing stack on RISC-V. I got it in the case for standalone use.

@till @frameworkcomputer yes although I paid for everything so it was not a donation to any particular project.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer and here is a picture of it:

@till @frameworkcomputer have you got the serial adapter as well?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from zygoon@fosstodon.org
@zygoon @frameworkcomputer What I got in the box.is the stand, the 2 antennas, and the following pieces where I honestly do.not know for what the blue one is good for:

@till @frameworkcomputer it's useful for maaaany things. It allows for low level access to the CPU
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from zygoon@fosstodon.org
@zygoon @frameworkcomputer Somebody can tell me for what these pieces are good for? Is there actually a serial adapter under them?
@zygoon did you also got them?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from till@ubuntu.social
@till @frameworkcomputer yes. You most likely don't need them unless you want to look at the bootloader layer.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from zygoon@fosstodon.org
@till @frameworkcomputer you can use them for serial and JTAG, basically.

@zygoon @frameworkcomputer I have tried out the #RISC_V board directly on the #Ubuntu booth on #FOSDEM but while running a system update on the pre-installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, it ran out of storage space.
So I want to replace its storage by a more spacious one.
Zyga, what kind of storage and which size are you using? Mine came with a micro-SD card, I am not sure about the size, can be that it is only 8 GB or so.
Anyone can give me recommendations about which storage to use?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from till@ubuntu.social
@till @frameworkcomputer expand the SD card with cfdisk and resize2fs. There is plenty of unused space.
