   We are thinking for RISC-V OLinuXino OSHW SBC and look at: D1 from Allwinner and RZ\Five from Renesas.

   D1 +: low cost, HDMI
   -: max 2GB DDR3, Linux rely on community
   potential use: SBC to test RISCV architecture with keyboard, display, Ethernet
   
   RZ\Five +: well documented, Linux LTS commitment from Renesas, 2x ETH1G, 2x CAN-FD, up to 4GB DDR4
   RZ\Five -: no display, expensive
   potential use: headless home server, FreedomBox, NextCloud, Home Assistant

   Let me hear your comments!

     @olimex i would say rz\five is more interesting, as it could solve real use cases (headless/server). perhaps one could use SPI for display/HMI if needed.

     @mntmn yes, I love how pedant Japanese companies are, Rz\Five has 2400 pages datasheet with every register and feature described in detail, not comparable to Chinese 50 pages datasheets, where you have more questions than answers when you read them :)

     @olimex well, that sounds more compatible to OSHW then
