we want to get the first batch of the LS1028A open hardware CPU/RAM module for MNT Reform (or your own projects!) off the ground. you can preorder 8GB and 16GB versions now and will get a refund if we shouldn't reach 70 orders by end of 2022 (this should be doable, right!?).

choices (for MNT Reform)

What is the best Linux mobile desktop environment? Boost for larger sample size.

Linux running on RISC-V on MNT RKX7! A completely* open computer down to the CPU gateware.

* the only wart is that it needs Vivado's synthesize/place+route tools to build the gateware source for Kintex-7

maybe the world's first RISC-V laptop guts!

it's real: the first assembled MNT RKX7. an open hardware kintex-7 fpga SoM with many peripherals for MNT Reform (or other projects).
