Framework’s open source RISC-V laptop mainboard is now available.

Originally announced last June, the open source RISC-V mainboard that Framework developed with DeepComputing is now available for $199. It’s compatible with Frameworks’s 13-inch modular laptop, as well as the $39 Cooler Master case that can turn it into a desktop PC.

It’s powered by a StarFive JH7110 SoC processor instead of chips from Intel or AMD, but it’s not recommended for most consumers. It’s targeted at developers and early adopters not focused on performance.
