Completely off topic, but you mentioned in your post about getting the camera working that you might be working on a RISC-V phone. If that is actually happening, that's an insta-buy for me.
Crazy impressive to see the work that has gone into the FP6 at such a fast pace, too.
Thank you!
I don't want to make false promises, its been happening in the sense that I've been working on it but i can't promise it gets to a physical device.
Making a good linux phone is pretty hard, being able to legally sell it after is even harder. There are so many regulations and certifications.
