Such a neat little board
For nanoCH32V003 Development Board
I saw how much the bare chips were going for and couldn't believe it so I had to get the dev board. This particular dev board looks to be the best deal and smallest currently on the market. The MoanRiver IDE is a bit odd but after going over several you tube videos I got it to work. I couldn't get the linked Cjacker GPIO blink example to compile. However I found this repository works https://github.com/openwch/ch32v003. This board is definitely more work to get going than Circuit Python or Arduino. There might be boards with a more streamlined experience for jumping into RISC-V than this one. The reason to buy this board is to test yourself to do as much as possible with the most inexpensive 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller. It is still a little to hard to work with to be replacing a PI pico for beginners. Perhaps soon that will change.
