Not to put aside or turn my nose up to RISC V---since with the
absorption of ARM, alternatives are good to have and I have, too, bought
documentation about RISC V---but if the motivation is the price, there
are Arm based Soc that, with a case, an external battery and an
alimentation are available for less than 70 euros VAT included ($84)
(for example with Olimex).
For a terminal, what costs much today is the display ("much" relative to
the price of the Soc).
For trying to build a cluster in order to experiment various ways of
distributing processing, it has become quite affordable.

Sounds like you would be.

I am interested in helping as well. I maybe looking at the
hardware anyway from Linux side of things.
Thanks,
Roman.

I would be also interested in a RISC-V port. I have RISC-V
documentation and would be happy to help out in any way I can though
full disclosure I don't have much experience with porting to
alternative architecture but am willing to learn and help with
testing.

we've been six months out from a compelling risc-v computer for about
five years now
