Hope you like those blobs.

I'll never forgive SiFive for discontinuing the only blobless RISC-V machine (HiFive Unleashed) after shipping only a few thousand units (which they did only because Debian demanded it as a condition of adding support).

HiFive Unleashed ($999 - $1199) was made in no more than about 500-600 units.

HiFive Unmatched ($665) had several thousand units built.

Absolutely no reason to buy an Unmatched now even if you could because the VisionFive 2 (Star64, Mars) are slightly better in almost every way starting at 1/10th the price.
