Milk-V Meles: New single-board computer arrives with RISC-V processor and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B form factor
The Meles is Milk-V's attempt at a single-board computer (SBC) modelled on the form factor of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Arriving hot on the heels of the Mars CM, the Milk-V Meles relies upon the TH1520, a quad-core RISC-V 64GCV C910 SoC that can boost to 2 GHz when needed. According to Milk-V's website, it has paired the TH1520 with LPDDR4X RAM clocked at 4266 MT/s, either in 8 GB or 16 GB combinations.
Additionally, the Milk-V Meles has an eMMC slot, a MicroSD card slot and the following ports:
- 1x 3.5 mm jack
- 1x 40-pin GPIO header
- 1x HDMI 2.0 (4K/60 FPS)
- 1x 4-lane MIPI CSI
- 1x 2-lane MIPI CSI
- 1x 4-lane MIPI DSI
- 1x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
- 4x USB 3.0 host
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-C
Moreover, the 85 x 56 mm board offers Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity, as well as a 2-pin fan header, plus recovery and reset keys. Currently, the Milk-V Meles is listed out of stock on Arace in its 8 GB of RAM SKU. However, Milk-V states that it plans to offer the SBC through Xiaoetong soon.
