BeagleV SBC Runs Linux on AI-Enabled RISC-V SoC

I hadn't kept up with RISC-V .. but since last time I looked things have really advanced.

For example, SiFive has essentially a viable PC running linux... and their component/module approach to configuring a new ASIC is likely to really fuel the pace of innovation for smaller startups making edge and cloud devices.

[ this Beagle board includes SiFives U74 core ]

Another thing I find surprising is the amount of Neural hardware now being shipped in these devices to run machine learning models [ not training the model, but running the model ]

It seems growth of IOT devices poses two main problems :

- latency - massive data streams

Hence the need for neural and fast silicon right at the 'edge', to process the stream before it goes to the server.
