Searching for good dev board. (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

Hi folks,

after seeing a lot about RISC-V I would really like to get my hands on one of the sbc/dev boards. Since it is a hobby project, I‘d like to spend as little as possible while knowing that cheaping out wont get me far.

I have looked at the starfive visionfive 2 and also bananapi bpi-f3. The latter just came to my attention today.

I‘m thinking of ordering fron waveshare but the dhl shipping is 40% of the price on top so a couple friends might chip in.

My personal ideas are learning to work with and program, compile, package for risc-v as well as seeing first hand how far the development progresses. I dont mind building something with the board or using it as a pc but thats not my first use.

Any better options? Anyone have experience with waveshare? Other suggestions?

Thanks for reading!

Lilygo makes some nice, cheap ESP boards for tinkering with a range of peripherals generally geared towards specific applications. Their demo SW is bare-minimum, but they're a hardware company.and pretty small from the looks of it.
