Milk-V Mars single board computer release: equipped with 1.5GHz quad-core RISC-V chip

CTOnews.com June 6, Milk-V Mars is a single board computer the size of a credit card that looks a lot like a raspberry pie Raspberry Pi. However, this small PC does not use an ARM-based processor, but a 1.5GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core processor based on RISC-V architecture.

The Milk-V Mars single board computer measures 85mm x 56mm (3.3in x 2.2in) and supports LPDDR4 memory from 1GB to 8GB, as well as an eMMC slot for flash storage and an microSD slot for removable storage.

The port and connector of the Milk-V Mars single board computer attached to CTOnews.com are as follows:

1 HDMI

1 MIPI-DSI (2 channels)

1 MIPI-DSI (4 channels)

1 Gigabit Ethernet

3 x USB 3.0 Type-A

1 USB 2.0 Type-A

1 USB-C (5V / 3A power input)

1 M.2 E-Key (for WiFi and Bluetooth cards)

1 40-pin GPIO universal input and output

Milk-V said that if users use both a HDMI port and a MIPI-DSI connector, the single board computer can support up to two monitors, play H.264 and H.265 video at up to 4K / 60fps, and support H.265 video coding at up to 1080p / 30fps.

The microcomputer can be used as a fanless PC, but it also has pins for connecting 5V fans. In addition to using the USB-C port for power supply, the GPIO connector connector includes power input and supports Power over Ethernet.
