MangoPi is working on the first RISC-V router I’ve seen, based on the ArtInChip D213ECV 64-bit RISC-V processor with 256MB SPI NAND flash, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 2.0 ports, MIPI DSI+touch connector, support for CAN Bus and RS485, and expansion through a 22-pin GPIO header.
Interesting, the tiny size (5cm x 5cm) and FPC connector for capacitive touch screen make me think of a portable hotspot, but there’s no wireless. The support for CAN 2.0 and RS485 make me wonder if that SoC was originally designed in the automotive or aeronautic business.
Seems like a good fit for some of the stuff I do in industrial automation. A lot of people think CAN is just for automotive, but it’s used in machine control quite a bit as well (as is RS-485). Most of the PLCs I work with have optional CAN modules.
