I'm mostly new with embedded development and would like to try RISC-V for audio applications. Which dev boards should I be looking at?

Hi, I'd like to work on developing Eurorack audio modules using an embedded platform. I've done some light embedded programming before using environments like Arduino and am familiar with using C libraries.

I've been looking at other Arduino-like "all inclusive" environments for ARM like https://daisy.audio which is very appealing for a number of reasons but it doesn't seem like anything similar exists for RISC-V yet. RISC-V mostly appeals to me because it's the cool new kid on the block.

I'm not totally averse to doing the DSP on a Sigma chip or something but if possible I'd like to know about options that could run stereo or even four channels of audio DSP natively.

I'm somewhat confused by the options out there and was hoping to get some recommendations on dev boards and SDKs that would work well with a daughtercard with ADCs, DACs, and DSPs or that might include them OOB. Upcoming products are welcome as well. And while I did some Pascal+ASM back in my school days I'd like to avoid writing assembler lol.

Thanks!

The STM32F4 MCU Replacement. For learning Embedded RISC-V, I highly recommend WCH CH32V307VCT6. Anyone else using this?

I got rclone running on the original Duo

RISC-V processors designed and produced in EU?

Do you know of any in the EU?

I've seen FPGA concepts of course, but is there any real chip being made in the EU or the US/Canada/Australia?

I'm not thinking about Linux processors, but a small replacement for 8/32 bits.



BR,

What kind of experience is needed for RISC-V jobs ?


Hi, I’m currently a Compiler Engineer that worked on different NPU / GPU projects at several big US companies and startups.
I always had a passion for RISC-V, I studied it at university, read several books and implemented some personal projects on my free time, I event got to read some related papers for research, but I never worked on an actual RISC-V project.

Recently I came across a few European RISC-V Compiler roles that seemed amazing (I’m European). I applied to all but didn’t get a single interview.

Given that all I have is a passion for RISC-V and some personal projects, without any prior work experience, it’s not that surprising.

Do you have any advice on what I could do in my free time to improve my skills / knowledge and hopefully be able to land some interviews in the future ?

Why are they so HOT? 🔥

I have 3 OrangePi RV2 boards, with attached heatsinks (ignore the cabling mess, this isn't their permanent home), all running Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quantal), and the 6.6.63-ky kernel.

Each of them idles around 134F/60C.

$ sudo sensors
cluster0thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C

Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +59.0°C

You can see the data in Grafana over the last 2-3 days and in the motd.

They're little toasters, for running on only 7W each.

Is this normal for this board, this chipset? Did I just happen to get 3 defective units?
