ESWIN Computing launches the EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

October 23, 2025 – Today, ESWIN Computing and Canonical announced the pre-installation of Ubuntu on EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard – a hardware platform designed to offer developers high computing power in resource-constrained environments. Developers will now be able to benefit from the stability and mature ecosystem of Ubuntu out of the box, on top of the rich feature set offered by the RISC-V compliant, multi-purpose system on chip (SoC) EIC7702X. 

This development follows the July 2025 launch of the EBC7700 single board computer. With the introduction of the EIC7702X dual-die SoC, developers gain access to twice the CPU and AI processing cores, an extended set of peripherals, and an enhanced performance – forming part of a wider initiative by Canonical and ESWIN Computing to offer choice and consistency to developers across product lines.

Delivering innovation on RISC-V platforms

When operating intensive use cases in resource-constrained environments, it’s important that both your hardware and software offer the right balance of computing power and convenience. Whether you’re building AI applications on embedded hardware, or testing industrial automation on manufacturing equipment, your hardware-software stack should facilitate fast testing and development. Ubuntu is known for its versatility and robustness, has a solid track record in applications like edge AI and embedded computing, and is regularly ranked as the top Linux OS by developers. The pre-installation of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ensures that developers can get the most out of the EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard, and develop applications at pace.

“We are excited to continue our collaboration with ESWIN Computing through the launch of their new dual-die variant for the EBC77 series. By combining increased performance with the flexibility and reliability of Ubuntu, developers can now explore wider possibilities and innovate across more RISC-V platforms. Having Ubuntu pre-installed ensures developers can immediately begin testing and building. Our partnership with ESWIN Computing continues to show how open standards and collaborative innovation drive meaningful progress,” says Jonathan Mok, Silicon Alliances Ecosystem Development Manager at Canonical.7

A board for designed for high-performance computing

The EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard offers considerable computing power on a minimal form factor of just 203mm x 107mm. The board also comprises the minimal core components needed for high-performance computing. At its heart is a 64-bit, 8-core RISC-V CPU that delivers high AI processor performance, backed by fast on-board LPDDR5 memory running at 640Mbps, available in either 32GB or 64GB configurations. Users can also draw upon varied connectivity and power options, such as four gigabit Ethernet ports, two HDMI out connectors, and multiple USB ports. The full list of features is set out below: 

“We are proud to announce the world premiere of the EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard, powered by our EIC7702X SoC – the industry’s first RISC-V die-to-die solution with cache-coherent interconnected dual chiplets. This architecture provides exceptional scalability and performance, representing a major advance in high-performance RISC-V computing,” said Haibo Lu, Executive Vice President of the Embodied Intelligence Business Group of ESWIN Computing, “By partnering with Canonical and pre-integrating the widely adopted Ubuntu OS, we are providing a robust, ready-to-use platform backed by one of the world’s most vibrant open-source communities, empowering developers to immediately leverage its rich ecosystem and accelerate the next generation of intelligent computing solutions on RISC-V.”

With the launch of the EBC7700 single board computer back in July, Ubuntu developers can now choose between both the EBC7700 SBC for light workload applications (like education and software development) due to its compact size and affordable price, or opt for the EBC7702 Mini-DTX Mainboard for heavy workload use cases, such as AI-assisted super computer and intelligent video analysis. With Ubuntu supported across these platforms, this unlocks multiple possibilities for whatever your use case is.
