HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache.
It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board.
“The board will be available for large-scale deployment through Arrow Electronics so developers around the world can test and develop RISC-V applications like machine vision, video analysis, AI PC and others,” said SiFive. “The modular design of the HiFive Premier P550, which includes a replaceable system-on-module board, gives developers flexibility to tailor their designs.”
Other features provided by the central IC are: a 2D-3D GPU, hardware video encoder-decoder, NPU, DSP, MIPI DSI, security subsystem, DDR5 memory controller and root complex PCI Express Gen 3 x4 and standard peripherals.
Beyond this is 16Gbyte of 64bit LPDDR5-6400, 128Gbyte of eMMC flash for fast boot, a PCIe x16 slot (the PCI Express Gen3 x4), dual Gigabit Ethernet (plus remote debug Ethernet) and five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.
Arrow Electronics is expected to have stock in July, and SiFive is working on documentation, a software development kit, the tool chain and utilities.
