RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture (ISA) based on the principle of reduced instruction set computing (RISC), which can be applied to required devices for free. Because of its openness, low power consumption and other advantages, it has been widely used in the IoT field, and ASUS is the latest to join.

ASUS Tinker V is equipped with a 64-bit RISC-V processor – Renesas RZ / Five, with 1GHz single-core Andes AX45MP, so the performance is not very strong. The board also has 1GB of DDR4 memory onboard, a microSD card slot, and optional 16GB eMMC modules and SPI flash.

The interface of ASUS Tinker V is as follows:

2 x GbE Ethernet ports

1 x micro USB

1 x micro USB (OTG)

2 x CAN Bus (6-pin terminal block)

2 x COM RS-232 serial port (5-pin terminal block)

Asustek said that the development board supports Debian and Yocto Linux operating systems.
