Introduction
BeagleV-Ahead is a high-performance open-source RISC-V single board computer (SBC) built around the Alibaba TH1520 SoC. It has the same P8 & P9 cape header pins as BeagleBone Black allowing you to stack your favourite BeagleBone cape on top to expand it’s capability. Featuring a powerful quad-core RISC-V processor BeagleV Ahead is designed as an affordable RISC-V enabled pocket-size computer for anybody who want’s to dive deep into the new RISC-V ISA.
