Ordered a RISC-V (VisionFive2) today, planning to use it as a TVHeadend box to replace my current SAT>IP box. The thing is, hardly any of the software I want to use has a RISC-V binary, so I will be compiling a looooot of things. So! Time to get my hands dirty ^^
The other reason is... I see a bright future for RISC-V. People aren't gonna keep dealing with the absolute shit that Qualcom and friends are putting devs through to do stuff with their chips and features. Look for MediaTek sources - you'll see what I mean. Qualcom is by far the nicest out of the ARM vendors out there - and RockChip is simply absurdly lazy and kinda clingy on their own stuff...
RISC-V fixes that. And thus, I shall learn more about it and jump on that train early. :)
