Good starting point is wiki page, https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64, where links to documents for various parts used could be found. Most interesting would be datasheet for StarFive JH1170 SoC, I think. No idea how detailed it is. Today there is new board avalable for purchase, Ox64, really small one, for US$ 6 and US$ 8... So one quick question - is 64 MB RAM enough for FreeBSD on RISC-V architecture? It would be really great for small devices (something like IoT, sensors, etc.), even if it could be limited somehow.
