Early access for risc v motherboard (store.deepcomputing.io)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Details for early access for deepcomputes risc v motherboard are out! Preoders start at $200 for a Mobo, coolernaster case, and various sundries. I'm glad it's at an affordable price point.

Any external sharing of user experiences of the Early Access Program must be approved by DeepComputing and Framework before publication.

Yikes. I like Framework (have had one for a few years now) but this is not what I expect from them at all.

Once they drop this requirement and get to normal (removable) memory and storage I'd pay double this though!

Is this a Framework, or Deep Computing requirement?

It appears to be a Deep Computing produced board that matches the Framework specification.

That's a great point. I suppose Framework wasn't necessarily the one to push for this.

The fact that they are fine with holding approval authority implicates them in my mind. Though, I guess this is tougher when form factors are open source and all parts are very easy to find. DeepComputing can kind of make whatever they want (with whatever restrictions they want) and naturally be associated with Framework's brand.
