[Article] StarPro64 EIC7700X RISC-V SBC: Maybe LLM on NPU on NuttX? - lupyuen - 03-01-2025

StarPro64 EIC7700X is the (literally) Hot New RISC-V SBC by PINE64. In this article we chat about:

(1) ESWIN EIC7700X, the RISC-V SoC inside StarPro64

(2) Its Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that supports Large Language Models (LLM)

(3) Booting RockOS Linux on StarPro64

(4) Apache NuttX RTOS boots OK on StarPro64 and passes OSTest! (Multiple Harts are a little problematic)

(5) How LLM on NPU on NuttX might work

(6) Beware of Overheating! (Smart Power Plug might help)

Hi @tllim Would you know who can answer these questions? Thanks :-)

Quote:The ESWIN EIC7700X SoC has an integrated SATA controller.

Other boards which use this SoC have a SATA connector to utilize the integrated SATA controller.

I don't see any SATA connector on the StarPro64.

Does PINE intend to sell any SATA HAT (or similar), that provides a SATA connector from one of the
MiPi connectors (or GPIOs) on the StarPro64?

There is an integrated SATA controller in EIC7700X. We decided not to bring up the SATA port due to may have data transfer signal conflict with USB3 port. User can use the PCIe SATA card on StarPro64 SBC.
