Does it run Emacs? :)

Evidently it runs LibreOffice and Vim, so I can't imagine Emacs would be any problem: https://artvsentropy.wordpress.com/2022/01/15/writing-on-the...

It appears that device isn't using the RISC-V module under discussion but an ARM version instead.

>I decided to install in my DevTerm the simplest module compatible with the popular RaspberryPi Linux distribution. It’s slower than the other “cores” but less power-hungry, and it’s very simple to install pre-compiled software and look up answers for any questions (as the RaspberryPi community is so huge). Yet this core still gives the user an ARM64-bit Quad-Core Cortex-A53 1.2 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM — more than enough to run simple writing apps.

Thanks, you're right. I think the RISC-V version also runs Linux, though, and has the same amount of RAM?
