The board seems fine, but the fan failed. The forums imply I should not have moved the board around while the fan was active. New fans just arrived, hopefully it’s fine this time.
I do wish the board would have arrived with debian already installed, but I understand this isn’t for the same market as the BeagleBone / Raspberry Pi / etc
No real thoughts on performance, I’m biased by the Xeons in my laptop.
if you have a HiFive Unleashed board as I do, this is more immediately useful: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/SiFive/HiFiveUnleashed
Still really excited that my favorite distro supports my most recent offbeat hardware purchase!
How are you liking the board? What well-known system would you compare its overall performance to? And is it working reliably?

Please write about your experiences with the board in the weekly “What are you working on?” thread! I’m very interested in hearing about it.
