The Framework Laptop has launched a RISC-V mainboard priced at $199, appealing to the open-source community. This motherboard utilizes the JH7110 chip, originally developed for other RISC-V single-board computers (SBCs) like the VisionFive 2 and the MILK-V Mars. Despite being released two years ago, it is recognized for having solid upstream support, making it a viable option for enthusiasts looking for an open-source computing solution. Moreover, the availability of a case suggests its adaptability to work as a single-board computer. In the comments, users recommend alternatives like the STAR64 or Mars from MilkV for those specifically seeking SBCs, as they are more tailored to that format. The flexibility of the Framework laptop with the new board fosters creativity within the community, especially for DIY projects such as home servers, using the RISC-V architecture efficiently.
