The Maix board with just the BL702 RISC-V chip is around $7 on Aliexpress (as opposed to $11 for the Nano1K with the FPGA)
I wish the protectionist a-holes would stop it with the stupid tariffs on China. It's not like any US company is going to sell $3.00 boards! Sadly no matter who gets elected, things will not get better here.

Nano 1K hidden RISC-V — So this $10 FPGA devboard has what I thought was an FT2232D chip for USB, but no! It is actually a BL702, Sipeed's 'debug chip', a RISC-V SOC... BL702 is highly integrated BLE and Zigbee combo chipset for IoT applications, contains 32-bit RISC-V CPU with FPU, frequency up to 144MHz, with 132KB RAM and 192 KB ROM, 1Kb eFuse, 512KB embedded Flash, USB2.0 FS device interface, and many other features. I suppose it's not as weird as, say, an ARM7 SOC on every SD card... I...
