PINE64 has published the first pictures of its upcoming Star64 RISC-V single-board computer, a quad-core 64-bit Linux-capable gadget it hopes will offer competition to StarFive’s crowdfunded VisionFive 2.
“Just three months after the board’s initial announcement today I get the privilege of unveiling the prototype – and I hope you’ll admit that it looks mighty cool,” says PINE64’s Lukasz Erecinski in the company’s latest community update. “Star64 is the first true RISC-V SBC from us (I mean, unless you really consider the Pinecil a SBC), but as I wrote last month it certainly isn’t the last RISC-V piece of hardware you’ll be seeing from us.”
