SEGGER's J-Link OB and BBC HiFive Inventor educational kit

I found this quite interesting.

 

The BBC Doctor Who HiFive Inventor Coding Kit is a very cool implementation of the RISC-V architecture (150-MHz SiFive FE310 RISC-V) making it accessible for youngins' which includes narration of tutorials by Jodie Whittaker the current Doctor in the Doctor Who series. The HiFive Inventor Coding Kit was the result of a collaboration between BBC Learning and Tynker.

Part of developing on the HiFive Inventor is the use of SEGGER's J-Link OB (on-board). This means you can use the SEGGER tools to program and debug the HiFive Inventor.

 

Although I already have SiFive HiFive1 Rev B, this might be a good excuse for me to grab a BBC Doctor Who HiFive Inventor Coding Kit.
