OrangePi RV2: The New Reference SBC for RISC-V Enthusiasts
(boilingsteam.com)
OrangePi is fairly famous by now as an alternative manufacturer for Raspberry Pi-like mini-computer boards, usually based on ARM processors (but not only). Very recently they announced the upcoming availability of a new board, the OrangePi RV2, based on a new RISC-V SOC (the Ky X1, with 8 cores running at 1.6 Ghz).

Not dropping RISC-V support after all, maybe
(chimera-linux.org)
As circumstances have changed, we are not dropping RISC-V repos for the time being. Instead, newly rebuilt repositories are introduced, built on hardware, with tests.
