RISC-V chip design and IP powerhouse, SiFive, just announced availability of its new HiFive Premier P550 development board, and it's sure to make waves at the RISC-V Summit this week in Santa Clara. The new board is being billed as the highest-performing RISC-V development vehicle to date. If you're looking to push the boundaries of what's possible with RISC-V, this could be the test and development platform you’ve been waiting for.

As of today, an Early Access Edition of the HiFive Premier P550 is available, which consists of an initial batch of 100 boards with Yocto Linux included, available through SiFive’s distribution partner Arrow Electronics. The broader launch is set for December, at which point the board will come pre-installed with Canonical Ubuntu 24.04, which should make getting started much easier for a wider range of developers.

“Since announcing the HiFive Premier P550 boards in April, we’ve worked closely with Canonical to deliver a best-in-class hardware and software experience,” said Martyn Stroeve, Head of the HiFive board program at SiFive.
