Baochip: What It Is, Why I'm Doing It Now, and How It Came About

Looks awesome. I'm surprised they don't list the pine64 Ox64 in the comparisons table, this seems like a very similar board; "small risc-v with the ability to run a 'real' OS" - but am very happy that this is so much more open and that the documentation is already better despite the Ox64 being available for several years.

The "Risks & Challenges" is the starkest I've seen on a crowdfunding project but not unrealistic.
