Milk-V Jupiter: RISC-V PC for Everyone

2024-04-11 on the Official twitter for MilkV there was an image of a ESWIN development board.

Then 2024-04-12 on the Official twitter for MilkV there was a video showing a the same board in action - a ESWIN EIC7700, 4x P550 from SiFive, ImaginationTech ( AXM-8-256 ) GPU, 10 Tops NPU, PCIe, SATA. The Big Buck Bunny video is playing, someone is actively playing SuperTuxKart, with htop showing resource usage (~56% CPU, ~1GB out of 16GB RAM) and a web browser is open in the wayland windows manager.

So I am going connect the dots and guess that the Milk-V Jupiter is probably going to be based around one of the ESWIN RISC-V SoC’s (I could be wrong).

EDIT: If you rotate the preliminary images of the SiFive hifive premier p550 board, although the positioning is slightly different it has 8 edge connections on one side of the board and the Milk-V Jupiter shown above also has 8 edge connectors on one side of the board. Both boards have one PCIe slot and one NVMe slot. And since the SiFive hifive premier p550 board will use a Eswin EIC7700, it would be an indication that maybe if the Milk-V Jupiter does use the same, or similar, ESWIN compute module it would support similar features. It is probably the same, or similar, board form factor as the SiFive hifive premier p550 board.

SoC

  • Eswin EIC7700 SoC featuring a quad-core SiFive Performance P550 core complex

Memory and Storage

  • Up to 32GB 64bit LPDDR4 / 4x / 5
  • eMMc 5.1
  • 2 × SDIO 3.0
  • SATA3 (6Gb/s)
  • SPI NOR Flash

Networking

  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet Port

User I/O

  • 2 × USB 3.0 with DRD ( Host + Device )，compatible with USB2.0

Expansion Capabilities

  • Express Gen3 4× Lanes. Dual modes ( RC + EP )
  • M.2 E-Key Slot (PCIe Gen 3) for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module

Board Form Factor

  • Industry standard miniDTX (203 mm Long x 170 mm Wide)

I’m also going to guess that the above, or a very similar specification will be announced at, or just before, the RISC-V SUMMITEU event 2024-06-24 to 2024-06-28 in Munich, Germany where ESWIN will be presenting details of their EIC7700X edge computing SoC.

I was wrong!
