Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

    Is this board using FOSS RISC-V with open schematics? If not, there’s very good reason to suspect it too.

      Also, I trust ARM (almost definitely backdoor’d) over x86_64 (confirmed backdoor’d)

        They’re both with backdoors how do you trust either?

          I don’t trust either, I’m just saying I trust ARM more. English is confusing and trust can be both boolean and float at the same time

          ARM trust: 0.2 (false)

          x86 trust: 0.1 (false)

      I didn’t know RISC-V routers were a thing. There’s OPNSense support for RISC-V?

        There isn’t. I was asking if the Banana Pi used RISC-V
