Why Choose the HiFive Premier P550?

• Unmatched Performance: The HiFive Premier P550 is designed to deliver double the single-threaded performance of other RISC-V boards currently available and nearly triple the performance of its predecessor, the HiFive Unmatched. This makes it one of the highest-performance RISC-V CPU development platforms in the world. With the SiFive Performance P550 cores, developers now have access to a robust and efficient system that can power everything from high-performance computing tasks to advanced embedded applications.
• Comprehensive Hardware Features: The HiFive Premier P550 is packed with features that developers expect from a high-end development platform. It offers:
• 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory for fast and efficient data handling.
• 128GB of eMMC storage to ensure ample space for software development and storage needs.
• HDMI 2.0 display support for connecting to monitors, enabling seamless integration into development workflows.
• MCU for system management and remote management, valuable in remote development environments.
• A wide range of I/O and peripheral compatibility, ensuring that the board can support a variety of devices and sensors.
• Linux-Ready for Rapid Development: Pre-installed with Ubuntu 24.04, the HiFive Premier P550 provides a familiar and powerful development environment. Ubuntu is the number one open-source operating system, and now it runs and builds natively on the highest-performing RISC-V development board available. This eliminates the need for cross-platform development, speeding up time to product and making it easier than ever to deploy Linux-based applications directly onto the platform.
