OrangePI sent me this OrangePi RV2 8GB SBC after seeing my overclocking exploits with the OrangePi 5 Max 16GB from a couple of months ago. The RV2 features an 8-core RISC-V SoC in the form of the Ky X1 which is actually a re-branded SpaceMit K1 SoC.

Since I had never tried a Risc-V based SoC, I figured this would make for a nice winter project. I hoped to finish the SkatterBencher guide by the end of the year. But things took a lot longer to progress than I had hoped.

In short: I still don’t have enough material to put together an overclocking guide, so in this video I want to give you an update on where I’m at and what I’ve done so far.
