Seeed launches BeagleV, a $150 RISC-V computer designed to run Linux

Meh, $150 is pretty steep. I think it's all good in the long run, but I'm going to sit this one out.

I'm still waiting for my dream machine: something like a hybrid between a microcontroller and a SBC. It should have all the simplicity of programming of an MCU with a lot of the goodies (but not necessarily all) we come to expect from an SBC.

I'd hope to see FreeRTOS run on it. Linux is a nice-to-have, but I view it as to complicated for anyone wanting to really get down to the metal.
