Milk-V Duo

Product arrived within expectation even during christmas period (2weeks). Well packaged and well protected, i would recommend this type of board for a low cost yet high performance and low consumption

Nice little RISC-V SBC

This thing somehow is a nice mix of Arduino and Rasberry Pi. I use it with an Debian build to play around with RISC-V hardware. Power consuption is quite low. Nothing gets really warm at all. Software support is a bit more basic compared to a Raspberry Pi, but there is a community page that should help in most cases. In general it feels a bit like Raspberry Pi "clones" from a few years back. I have no real idea what to do with the TPU. The tutorials all aim at image recongition and use pre-learned models. Would be nive to have a tutorial on how to generate your own model or different use cases for the TPU. I managed to install Pi-Hole on it. Works, but the hardware is a bit overwhelmed by it. But I would expect it to work in general. Don't expect it to be able to do anything you throw at it as 256 MB RAM is not that much for modern software packages. But serving basic things should be fine. The IO Board was first confusing me as the lights on the Ethernet port do not light up at all. Ethernet is working fine though anyway. SCP throuput is around 20 to 30 MBit/s most likely limited by the CPU speed as SSH is a bit heavy. I'd expect FTP or SMB to be a bit quicker. But SCP works out of the box and is fine to copy things from or to the board. I'm quite pleasantly surprise by this little thing so far.

Nice

Packing was good, would buy here again if I want a big order. The shipping cost is high as expected, so it makes sense to have a big cart to offset the shipping cost per-item.
