This product information should be treat as 'preliminary' and 'draft' - I'm definitely hoping for documentation I wasn't aware microchip made RISC processors though, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised?

It is not RISC procesor. It is FPGA combined with RISC-V procesor(s). Similar FPGA (but without CPU part; just FPGA) we RoadTested few years ago:

Polar Fire FPGA + RISC V + M.2 PCIE + CSI + Beagle footprint = very attractive platform.

This certainly looks interesting, but it worries me that they're churning out new boards whilst the documentation for existing boards (e.g. BeaglePlay, Beagle Freedom Connect) is still mostly "TO DO". I'm sure they're having fun moving onto the next new shiny toy, but it doesn't make it easy for end users.

I agree wholeheartedly and we are passing on that sentiment.

When I read the title, I did wonder if this was going to be a "How I Melted My Beagle" post.

Odd that this is the only info anywhere online about this board. Nothing even on the BeagleBoard forum or discord channel yet. Where does cstanton get his secret squirrel info from?
