Geniatech has released the XPI-7110 single-board computer, which is similar to the Raspberry Pi and is based on the StarFive JH7110 RISC-V system-on-a-chip.
However, the performance of this board is significantly lower because it uses the reduced frequency of two dual-core SiFive U74 processors, unlike competing models that run at a higher frequency and have four cores. The board also features 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM expandable up to 8GB and up to 256GB of eMMC flash memory.
The XPI-7110 features one gigabit Ethernet port, four USB ports (one USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0), dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. The board also features an HDMI output with support for 4K resolution, MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI) and Camera Serial Interface (CSI) connectors, an infrared receiver, a 40-pin general purpose input/output (GPIO) port, and a microSD card slot.
Geniatech acknowledges the influence of the Raspberry Pi design on their board, but notes a few differences: a full-size HDMI port and the placement of the USB Type-C power connector. In terms of software, Geniatech promises a pre-installed Debian-based Linux operating system, but Ubuntu from Canonical is also possible.
Geniatech's XPI-7110 board contains open source hardware, which will allow users to customize and modify it to suit their needs.
