Are there any SBC with memory slot so that i can plug in 32GiB or more of RAM?

I keep seeing suggestions that theres no software support for Orange Pi.Whats the go there? Is there no distro like Raspbian supporting it?

More info here from a few months back: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boilingsteam.com&#x2F;orange-pi-rv2-new-risc-v-board-review&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boilingsteam.com&#x2F;orange-pi-rv2-new-risc-v-board-revi...</a>

Absolutely smoked by rpi5, often by rpi4. To make matters worse, a radically unsupported core with no mainline support. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phoronix.com&#x2F;review&#x2F;orange-pi-rv2-benchmarks&#x2F;2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.phoronix.com&#x2F;review&#x2F;orange-pi-rv2-benchmarks&#x2F;2</a>

the title says &quot;... AI projects&quot;. now, maybe our definitions are different, but you probably want some hardware acceleration.

GPUs are [effectively] irrelevant for many use cases (IoT, embedded, most servers, etc)

We did back in 2007: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Open_Graphics_Project" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Open_Graphics_Project</a>And there have been some others as well: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Free_and_open-source_graphics_device_driver#Open_hardware_projects" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Free_and_open-source_graphics_...</a>Recently <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.furygpu.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.furygpu.com&#x2F;</a>Part of the problem is that every ASIC manufacturer (and indeed each fabrication process) has a different toolchain with a different set of primitives for circuit design. Yosys and other open tooling for FPGAs has helped a great deal in lowering the barrier to chip design and by association reuse of circuits. But every ASIC, at the moment, is tied to some vendor&#x27;s PDK. Here&#x27;s the one Google open sourced for Cypress Semi&#x27;s SKY130 process node: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;skywater-pdk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;skywater-pdk</a>

It&#x27;s probably a series of patent landmines...

they all suck. someone needs to make an open source gpu already, its been way too long.

Attach your favourite GPU at the PCIe slot.

I don&#x27;t like RISC-V unless it has a good GPU
