@RedTechEngineer @linear It's horribly bad in terms of actual information, sometimes it even feels like there's somehow a telephone game going on because Michael Larabel will just hallucinate bits of things.

Case in point the article you linked mentions the SpacemiT K1, which is just an SoC (so no actual boards…) and absolutely nothing about what actually is getting merged, like nothing if it's initial patches for some subsystems, or the final patches for full support of the SoC.

Compare with articles from lwn.net or like https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan to get an actual idea of the number of bits needed to actually support a board (VisionFive2 with the JH7110 SoC).
