I have some additional information on similar RISC-V based board
called STAR64 from PINE64:

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64

This one is also based on RISC-V QuadCore U74 StarFive JH7110, better
GPU, and PCI-E slot, built in WiFi+BT. Not sure when it will be
available for purchase. I have asked for status update on pine64
forum, will update here when I know more :-)
