Anyway, I got this example from Project Trellis to work on this board. It uses this "PICO RISC-V" (the entire CPU is in a single Verilog file):

I think it would be straightforward to build a Linux capable RISC-V system for this board using this free tool chain. The board has SDRAM, FTDI UART and SPI-flash. It does not have an SD slot, but maybe could be wired in with the expansion headers.
This ULX3S board also looks promissing, but is not available yet:

What's very cool is that low end ECP5 FPGAs are around $5. I think RISC-V on an ECP5 with LCD touch interface might be the cheapest available option for a Linux microcontroller with a touch LCD interface. By available, I mean where you can easily buy the chips on mainstream distributors (otherwise it would for sure be some AllWinner chip).
