Milk-V just keep churning these things out. I wonder what the RISC-V market looks like? I assume they’re targeting business application and not hobbyists? I’m very much ignorant, and have never seen an implementation using RISC-V anywhere.
I actually ordered a Mars just yesterday but I get the feeling, after initial intrigue, that it’ll be a curiosity that sits in the drawer until it eventually gets thrown away. Maybe it was a good thing Meles was sold out at the time of my order. haha
It’s really just for tinkering at this point, or cheap build systems I guess. There’s some small edge cases where the existing instruction set will beat ARM or x86, but they’re very niche. Eventually it’s expected to be a contender to the more optimized stuff we see in ARM chips these days.
It’s the odds-on favorite for the next generation of radiation-hardened space computers (HPSC). Potential to be a 25x improvement over current capabilities. Guessing most of the use cases will be niche like that, but who knows.
