Anyone Bought From Mouser ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Has anyone here ever purchased anything from Mouser ? I tried to buy a Sifive Unmatched from there and a day later the order was cancelled by their Customer Accounts Team "after further review". I will be calling them for more info but it just struck me as one of the weirdest experiences I have had with an online store.

Enclosure For the Star64 (lemmy.ml)
 

Can anybody suggest an enclosure for the Star64 SBC ? The only one they list as compatible on the Pine64 store is the acrylic enclosure but that won't work if one wants to use the M.2 PCI-E card which I do. I think the ROCKPro64 Premium Aluminum Casing will fit well enough by looking at how the ports would line up but it would be nice to get more info before ordering.

Does any RISC-V Distro/Board Meet these Needs ? (lemmy.ml)
 

When dealing with ARM and RISC-V devices one constant I see is that distros or devs will make a specific image for a device. This image usually lacks a few things I am used to. On X86 the norm is to have an installer where I can make many choices such as whether to have full disk encryption, choose which DE I want, choose which device to install to (such as NVME) and choose my filesystem type. Does any distro do this for any RISC-V board ?

I have never used Discord and never will. No project has ever been able to change my stance on it.

A libre version of Devuan. It uses the libre kernel by default and doesn't ship with any closed source programs or drivers in the repos.

Error When Booting GNUinos (lemmy.ml)
 

I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.

Ubuntu Adds Support for PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit (www.phoronix.com)
 

Ubuntu has announced support for The PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit RISC-V Board. I am not always a huge fan of Ubuntu but if you're looking to get into RISC-V boards they seem to be always on the forefront of support. RISC-V is a great platform to get into as many boards have an open source BIOS and the architecture as a whole is a lot more open than x86.

The board can be found on Mouser among other stores.
