Hi!

Bought an unmatched board a year or two ago but didn’t have time to set it up until now; all of the tested hardware in the getting started PDF is OOS. I’m hoping for a headless build so I don’t need a GPU; just psu/nvme/case (and maybe replacement fan)

Has anyone built one of these recently? Any advice/suggestions?

Also these are still useful even with the P550 out, yes? 🙂 It’ll primarily be a CI buildbot running compiles and unit tests. Thanks!

Hi!

I have been using HiFive Unmatched without NVME, without GPU and without case.  
It is fine, although it should run faster with NVME.  
Did you try if it works with demo-coreip-cli releases from Github repository?
