Just note that you need a relatively new J-Link (v10 iirc) to program RISC-V cores using J-Link, alternatively for the Sipeed Longan boards, pick up two of them and you can flash one with a provided debugging/uploading firmware.
Yes, the Longan Nano is very nice but I'm also interested in the bare chips. Seeed also sells cheap JTAG dongles that work with their RISC-V boards, which is nice.
I've been using a clone J-Link which works pretty good. I got it probably 5 years ago, so it's impressive that it works. I think I'm using a patched version of openocd with it though.
