RISC-V, ARM, AI and general tech.

Banana P BPI-F3 RISC-V SBC received.

Testing several Linux distros on the Radxa Rock 5B.

Playing around with a Mekotronics R58 Rockchip RK3588!

Star Lite Mk III received.

Started playing around with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 5.
Excited that Fedora is running on the Pi 4.

Running Windows XP on RISC-V with QEMU. It's very slow, so it's better to try Windows executables with Box64 or Felix86, together with Wine.

Sega Dreamcast emulation with Flycast on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC. As we don't have dynarec, it's very slow. Perhaps we have to wait for the K5 to be really playable.
Tested with Volgarr the Viking, a free Dreamcast game.

Playstation 1 emulation on RISC-V with PCSXR.
I think it helps to have a good OpenGL driver, but on the SpacemiT K3 I'm able to run it with xvideo.
Most things will work without a PS1 BIOS and there are even free PS1 games (homebrew).

Doing some more tests on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC.
Looks like you need to set the governor for the AI (A100) cores like this:
echo ondemand | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy8/scaling_governor

Testing Yamagi Quake 2 with OpenGL ES1 on the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC. A contributor of the project asked me to test it. And hopefully the optimization will also be available with OpenGL ES3 in the future.

Testing Bianbu 4 on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V RVA23 Pico ITX.
You can run AI models with llama.cpp, play 4K YouTube and even play games like Quake 2. Or emulate PSP games with PPSSPP.
Below is a link to buy the SpacemiT K3.

The SpacemiT K3 RISC-V RVA23 Pico-ITX Mini Computer arrived today! A big thank you to SpacemiT for sending it for free. This is just the unboxing, and I will do a lot of testing in the coming days.
This is a big step into the future for RISC-V!

Testing Hangover on the Radxa Dragon Q6A with the Snapdragon QCS6490. I test the games Tomb Raider: Side-Scroller Edition, Smokin' Guns and Quod (FPS in only 64kb!).

Testing Hangover, Wine for ARM Linux. I tested two Windows games, Tomb Raider: Side-Scroller Edition and Smokin' Guns.
I have to do some investigation if I can get things running a bit faster with DXVK and Wine Tricks.
