I was just referring to their latest dev boards, which people have put in standard mini-ITX compatible cases, plugged in GPUs and used as workstations. Zero idea what blobs this requires. For eg:
I hardly stumbled into this thread, I was the one who posted it to HN.
I am definitely not hyping anything, least of all SiFive.
This subthread started with the need for RISC-V workstations, I simply pointed out the closest thing to one of those. Of course I didn't mention the firmware situation, which was a mistake, but I also didn't know about the situation.
That board's firmware is not open-source at all. See the link in my previous comment.

You've stumbled into the wrong thread, my friend. This thread is about open-source firmware. The stuff you're hyping does not deliver that.
