Anyone know what kind of board used by Debian maintainers for testing Debian on RISC-V?

The porterbox is a HiFie Unmatched.

This one? https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unmatched

Very interesting, looks like you can buy it for $700 on AliExpress. I wonder if there are other debian compatible RISC -V boards with cheaper prices. $700 is not exactly hobbyist friendly.

You may run into a few hurdles until ACPI support for RISC-V devices matures a bit, but hopefully it'll be better than the situation with ARM boards.
