Absolutely! While I have you here, if you could fill out a support request (https://framework.kustomer.help/contact/support-request-ryon9uAuq), you should be in warranty though for the user to request a new module. Please link to this thread in the request.

This Mainboard drops directly into any existing Framework Laptop 13, and is aimed at enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. In this generation, it isn't directly optimized for end-consumer usage.

DeepComputing is showing an early demo of the new RISC-V Mainboard at the RISC-V Summit in Munich next week. This board uses a StarFiveTech JH7110 with SiFive RISC-V CPU cores. DeepComputing is also working closely with the teams at Ubuntu and Fedora on Linux support.

Note: "This is the early support for the Framework 13 AMD and still does require binary blobs but at least this is progress being made and better than the default proprietary BIOS. It's an experimental Coreboot port being worked on by various AMD firmware engineers and other stakeholders as an unofficial project."

Great question. This is part of a larger project for 2024 and 2025 - community distro support. Community members active on community distros, already providing support/docs for these projects will be invited. Debian among others are welcome once I account it for other distros.

2024-05-02 13:52:23

This has been in the works for some time. With help from the NixOS community, we're set up to begin the process of introducing NixOS as a Community support distro.
NixOS community will be helping Framework with docs and related and we will provide hardware to those selected.
Some details being ironed out. This is a method of ensuring NixOS users identified as ideal candidates (a couple of selected people) can help us ensure we have Framework docs in place.
