This is interesting: Framework is getting set to release a RISC-V mainboard for their 13" laptops. Kind of surprised that they're doing this before an Arm mainboard! Depending on the price I may have to pick one up and slap it into one of their Cooler Master cases to play with Linux on RISC-V. I wonder if @corbet would let me expense that...

FrameworkIntroducing a new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputingWe’re excited to share a preview of a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard with a new CPU architecture.

@jzb @corbet
Please be cautious. Framework is not that good on supporting 1st attempt hardware. Ask an 11th Gen Intel Framework user with battery problems.

@jzb I hadn't thought about using the laptop mainboard in a regular case. That works? Any example links?

@mattray yeah, that’s it. I don’t think I’d try for a RISC-V laptop, but a desktop maybe.

@mattray @jzb that board in that case would be great in the homeland!
