Verdict

Firefly ROC-RK3588S-PC

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

The original RK3588S design, still notable for UEFI boot support that makes standard Linux installs far easier.

Sipeed LicheePi 4A

6.9 / 10 Expert Rating

The most ambitious RISC-V AI board available today, but its software stack is still catching up to what its hardware promises -- best suited to developers who want to be early rather than comfortable.
