Building a More Secure World with the RISC-V ISA

Is RISC-V vaporware? It’s on HN all the time but I never see where it is available for purchase.

HiFive1 is a dev kit based on RISC-V you can buy: https://www.sifive.com/products/hifive1/

SiFive seems to be selling the only publicly available chips as of yet. The FE310 (~300MHz 32-bit microcontroller, FreeRTOS capable) can be bought on the HiFive1 and one other dev board, or as bare chips. They say they'll ship a FU500 (~1.5GHz quad-core application processor with supervisor mode and memory protection, capable of booting Linux and FreeBSD) dev board (board called HiFive Unleashed) this quarter.

SiFive are sampling their 64 bit chips now and have said they will have them on sale in Q1 this year.

(I'm currently porting Fedora to RISC-V)
