Ubuntu Officially Supports Allwinner D1 Nezha RISC-V Development Board

Produced by | OSC Open Source Community (ID: oschina2013)Recently, Canonical announced that it has ported the Ubuntu operating system to Allwinner Technology’s D1 Nezha RISC-V board. The latest version of the Ubuntu 22.04.1 image is now available on the Nezha board, with upcoming work focused on porting new features and the latest Ubuntu versions.Ubuntu Officially Supports Allwinner D1 Nezha RISC-V Development BoardThe Nezha board is based on Allwinner Technology’s first D1 SoC, which is built on the RISC-V instruction set. This chip integrates Alibaba’s T-Head 64-bit core and runs on systems such as Linux and RTOS (comes with Debian), supporting RVV.Ubuntu Officially Supports Allwinner D1 Nezha RISC-V Development BoardPerformance Parameters: 1GHz RISC-V processor, 1GB or 2GB DDR3 system memory, 256MB SPI-NAND storage, Gigabit Ethernet, 2.4GHz WiFi, and supports up to 4K H.265/H.264 decoding, with an integrated HiFi4 DSP.The board is priced at around 600 RMB and is primarily used in the Internet of Things (IoT) field, with significant advantages in audio and video processing, mainly reflected in:

  • Multimedia acceleration instructions utilize the RVV extension (RISC-V V-extension), which means enhanced computational performance, particularly in image processing and audio/video processing.

  • Support for hardware decoding, which has significant advantages in audio and video processing; additionally, the board includes extra imaging capabilities such as a camera.
