Running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, the board successfully runs OpenJDK 25.0.1 and basic Java applications. At around 60€, it offers an affordable entry point for developers exploring RISC-V architecture, though performance lags behind Raspberry Pi 5. Standard Java and libraries work as expected, while Pi4J and JavaFX require additional work. The board provides a practical platform for experimenting with Java on open-standard RISC-V architecture. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
