LoFive

We are doing a second round of the LoFive R1 campaign:

With some help from GroupGets, we now have LoFive R1 stocked at Digikey.

The new FE310-G002 provides I2C and a second UART. Lets you add all of those sensors and wireless co-processors. Get one while the campaign lasts for $24.99.

Been kicking around some stretch goals for the campaign. Add some ideas in the comments if you have something worth adding to the campaign.

After quite a long break, LoFive is back with a new revision. LoFive R1 uses the new FE310-G002 processor which provides I2C and an additional UART.

Got the first article built up and everything appears to be working so far.

Next step is more thorough testing followed by a new campaign on GroupGets.

Today Miodrag Milanovic got an initial port of Micropython running on LoFive.

This might become the new deploy firmware.

The second round of funding is still up for anyone that wants to one up Kurt. :)

The product listing on Tindie has been retired while the second round of the campaign is running.

If you want to get a LoFive join the campaign on GroupGets.

It may be relisted on Tindie after the second round is complete. I don't want people to waitlist on Tindie instead of just joining the new GroupGets campaign.

LoFive is back for another round of funding on GroupGets.

So the LoFive campaign is over but you can still get one if you hurry.

GroupGets posted their spare units to their store here:

LoFive RISC-V on GroupGets Store

I also decide to post a few of the spare units from the early run on Tindie here:

All of the LoFive orders are now shipped and they are starting to show up in the wild.

Basic documentation was started on the Github wiki for the LoFive.

https://github.com/mwelling/lofive/wiki

The wiki references the LoFivified Freedom-E SDK which is also hosted on Github.

As support questions roll in, I will create a FAQ and update the documentation as required.

In other news, LoFive was OSHWA certified. This is a self certification so if anyone see areas that are lacking in terms of the certification please tell.

Thank you everyone for supporting this project!
