Let me just quickly reiterate the Star64 features:
– Quad core 64bit RISC-V
– HDMI video output
– 4x DSI and 4x CSI lates
– i2c touch panel connector
– dual Gigabit Ethernet ports
– dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth
– 1x native USB3.0 port, 3x shared USB2.0 ports
– PCIe x1 open-ended slot and GPIO bus pins (i2c, SPI and UART).
– The board also features 128M QSPI flash and eMMC and microSD card slots.
The board will be available in two different RAM configurations — with 4GB and 8GB LPDDR4 memory for $69.99 and $89.99 respectively. The Star64 store page ought to already be live when you read this, but will be listed as out of stock until the 4th.
Liliputing offers this summary:
The Star64 is a single-board computer with a quad-core RISC-V processor, support for up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage (as well as a microSD card reader). Developed by the folks at Pine64, it’s designed to be an affordable platform for developers and hobbyists looking to get started with RISC-V architecture. Pine64 first announced it was working on the Star64 last summer…
Meanwhile, PINE64’s Linux tablets, the PineTab2 and PineTab-V, will launch one week later on Tuesday, April 11th.
Other highlights from this month’s community update: there’s now a dedicated Debian with GNOME image with tailored settings for grayscale for their Linux-based “PineNote” e-ink tablets. (“Other OSes and desktop environments are being worked on too.”)
And the update also includes photos of one user’s cool 3D-printed replacement cases for their PinePhone featuring Tux the penguin.
