That's an interesting gpu choice. The R5 230 is a super old graphics card. I wonder if it's built into the board like a laptop

The hardware, which primarily targets software developers wanting to compile on a native RISC-V system, is priced at $1,199 for the motherboard with processor and a cooling heatsink; a $1,999 ready-to-run bundle adds a case, power supply, 128GB of DDR4 memory, a 1TB SSD, an Intel X520-T2 two-port 10-gig-Ethernet network card, and an AMD R5 230 graphics card.

Almost certainly not since you can get the motherboard/cooler/CPU without it.

I don't think the motherboard has video out so it needs a GPU. So it's probably the cheapest supported GPU.
