The BeagleBoard Org have recently introduced a= Linux-capable risc-v based board called "BeagleV".
     ref: https://beagleboard.org/beaglev

The CPU is a  U74 risc-v dual core runni= ng at 1.5GHz (roughly equivalent to Cortex A55).
It has thr= ee coprocessors:
    • Tensilica-VP6 Vision DSP for c= omputing vision
    • NVDLA Engine - NVIDIA® Deep Learning Accelerat= or (2048 MACs@800MHz )
    • Neural Network Engine (1024 MACs@500MHz)
      And comes in two flavors: 4GB ($119) and 8GB ($149).

      Of course it'd be great just to have Plan 9 running o= n a risc-v platform, but it seems to me the real value here would be in sho= wcasing Plan 9's architecture and an elegant API to multiple disparate = coprocessors.

      BeagleBoard has a good track= record of creating an ecosystem around their boards; and a history of supp= orting production of boards, new and old, for many years after.
