- The StarFive Vision Five 2 Lite is a budget RISC-V single-board computer starting at $20, with versions up to 8GB RAM.
- Differences from the standard Vision Five 2 include a slower processor (1.25 GHz vs. 1.5 GHz), fewer ports, and limited PCIe lanes.
- The RISC-V cores used are similar in speed to the older ARM Cortex-A55 but are slower in practice.
- Competitors include Pine64 Star64, OrangePi RV, Milk-V Mars, and others using the same JH7110 SoC or newer RISC-V cores like the SpacemiT K1.
- Driver support for the GPU is poor, with limited Linux distributions offering full GPU support.
