Backing the VisionFive 2 RISC-V dev board

Hardware

I just backed a Kickstarter project for the first time!

VisionFive 2 - open source quad-core RISC-V dev board. High-performance quad-core RISC-V single board computer (SBC) with an integrated 3D GPU, 2G/4G/8G LPDDR

Here are the press photos, showing the front and back of the board:

Back of the board showing eMMC, M.2 slot, FT card, and QSPI Flash

It will support various Linux distributions, but naturally I’ll be seeing what BSD I can get on it too. I think it’ll be a fun project.
