StarFive JH7110 RISC

With the Star64 and VisionFive 2 single board computers, we’ve already got two hardware platforms based on the StarFive JH7110 quad-core RISC-V processor, but somehow we did not get the detailed specifications of the new processor, and some details such as the presence of AI accelerators or exact PCIe specifications were lacking.

Some documentation for the StarFive JH7110 processor has been released and answers some of those questions. It's actually an SoC with six RISC-V cores, of which four 64-bit RISC-V cores run the main OS, plus a 64-bit RISC-V monitoring core, and a 32-bit RISC-V real-time core. The AI accelerators found in the JH7100 (Neural Network Engine and NVDLA) appear to be gone for good, and there are two 1-lane PCIe 2.0 interfaces up to 5 Gbps each.

StarFive JH7110 specifications:

Supported operating systems include Linux, VxWorks, and other RTOS.

Target applications for the StarFive JH7110 processor include single board computers, home NAS, routers with software routing, Smart Home appliances, industrial robots, drones, and video surveillance applications. The documentation website comes with a product brief and a datasheet, and a hardware design reference plus a software developer guide are also in the works.
