ESWIN Launching EBC7702 Mini-DTX RISC-V Board With Dual-Die EIC7702X SoC
For those looking for a new RISC-V desktop option, ESWIN is launching a EBC7702 mini-DTX board powered by the EIC7702X dual-die SoC. The EBC7702 Mini-DTX is aiming for developers who want RISC-V under their desk for working on AI and other development tasks.
I haven't yet found a formal announcement from ESWIN Computing around this new product but Canonical posted to the Ubuntu blog minutes ago around the EBC7702 Mini-DTX since it will ship with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS pre-installed.
This mini-DTX board features an eight core RISC-V CPU design, LPDDR5 memory in 32GB or 64GB configurations, an AI processor up to 40 TOPS @ INT8, 32GB eMMC onboard, M.2 SATA slot, microSD slot, and four Gigabit Ethernet ports. There are also two 4-lane PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots for graphics cards or other add-in cards.
More details on this new RISC-V mini-DTX board option can be found via the Ubuntu.com blog.
The Amazon.com product page (affiliate link) lists the ESWIN Computing EBC77 Series EBC7702 RISC-V Mini-DTX Mainboard (EBC7702 Development Board) with 32GB of RAM for $698 USD. That's rather high for an 8-core + 32GB RAM option these days and performance subpar to modern AMD/Intel systems... Not to mention the SoC isn't RVA23 compliant and thus won't work with Ubuntu 25.10 and moving forward so will be stuck to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or other Linux distributions for its lifetime. The ESWIN EIC7702X dual-die SoC also isn't yet supported by the mainline Linux kernel with Linux 6.18 only beginning with the EIC7700 upstream support.
The Amazon.com product page points to the product beginning to ship around the end of November or early December.
