hmmmm, not many reviews out there of the Banana Pi BPI-F3 board based on the 8-core SpaceMIT K1 SoC ... @geerlingguy doesn't have one, and @chipsandcheese hasn't looked at the CPU

given My price range (which, let's be honest, is $0 so I'd have to get one donated) and available shelf space, if I was gonna get a #RISCV board to tinker with and potentially offer access to devs online for purposes of building & testing software on the platforM, it'd alMost certainly be the @bananapi BPI-F3.
