It will support PS/2 keyboards and VGA. Intended to be a learning platform for RISC-V coding, it’s only got 2k of RAM. (I tried finding a 3rd party source for this announcement but I struck out, so I’m linking the actual olimex webpage. Not affiliated with them, just thought this looked neat.)

    Even at this price point isn’t it more economic and sustainable to emulate a RISC-V device with already owned hardware. Especially since it’s so low powered.

      And an emulator doesn’t require you to find a PS/2 keyboard.

        You mean the agony of deciding which one to dig out of my bin of PS/2 keyboards?

          I’m not going to say I definitely don’t have a PS/2 keyboard somewhere in the basement, but that box got thrown away at least a decade ago.

              Nope! Didn’t even have to go out of my way. Turned up while I was looking for something else.
