SiFive's First Server Platform

RISC V making its way into proper server platforms is a huge milestone. The open architecture could eventually disrupt the current vendor lock in we see in cloud data centers.

I wonder how the driver situation is. From Jeff Geerling's work on running "big" GPUs on Raspberry Pis, my impression is that often less-common platforms should work but are littered with papercuts in practice.

what is the boot environment like for these type of platforms?

is it opensource or megs of blob?

Missing the silicon process.

256gb ddr5, so this is going to cost north of 100k? Damn.

Can’t see myself buying my this but glad riscv is making progress.
