What do you think? Has anyone here tried out the Milk-V?

Seems like it still does have some proprietary components but hey, that's a big improvement for now.

Yeah, RISC-V in general isn't yet ready for mainstream use, but it's a major step forward in the right direction.

It's a 64bit CPU running at 2Ghz, that works on a MOBO with 1 x16 port.

They market it on their website as "Make native RISC-V development possible" so of course your don't buy this expecting everything to work out of the box.
