SiFive HiFive Premier P550 RISC-V Price Lowered, Ubuntu 24.04 Support Ready
Going back to April 2024, SiFive announced the HiFive Premier P550 as an interesting RISC-V developer board to succeed their HiFive Unleashed that was a nice little RISC-V board
The two news items from SiFive today are that Ubuntu Linux is now able to ship pre-installed on the HiFive Premier P550 following their engagement with Canonical. Sadly though still no word from SiFive on any review samples for being able to better quantify the performance expectations of the P550 and being able to independently comment more on the Linux support and experience as we did back with the HiFive Unleashed. Hopefully we end up seeing a HiFive Premier P550 board but so far it's not sounding optimistic, which is troubling for why would they not want independent reviews as in the past.
