See a DeepSeek demo running on ESWIN Computing’s EIC77 series at RISC-V Summit Europe 2025 in Paris

Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, and ESWIN Computing have partnered to enable DeepSeek LLM 7B on the EIC77 series, showcasing ESWIN Computing’s powerful NPU, GPU and DSP running on Ubuntu. This development is part of a community development effort between Canonical and ESWIN Computing to bring the latest and greatest RISC-V technology to Ubuntu. See the demo live at ESWIN Computing’s booth at the RISC-V Summit in Paris, where leaders from across the RISC-V ecosystem will gather to discuss the latest innovations.

Ubuntu users can now make use of DeepSeek’s powerful reasoning model on ESWIN Computing’s cutting edge EIC77 series

With ESWIN Computing’s hardware accelerators such as NPUs, GPUs and DSPs, Ubuntu users can now maximize the usage of hardware resources available to further enhance performance. With DeepSeek, the hardware resources available can enable rapid parameter transfers during processing, therefore significantly enhancing the model’s  performance. Test results from ESWIN Computing show that the EIC7700X SoC EVB development board can run at 7 tokens per second.

The availability of Ubuntu developer images on the EIC 77 series, powered by SiFive’s P550 CPU, means that users can draw upon the latest open source tooling from the Ubuntu ecosystem, whilst at the same time benefit from the robustness and stability that Ubuntu brings to novel use cases. This expands the possibilities for creative projects in AI, robotics, IoT, education, and beyond.

This success is built on top of collaboration between ESWIN Computing, SiFive and Canonical, and serves as a testament to commitment to openness and collaboration within the RISC-V community.

Canonical’s commitment to RISC-V

At Canonical, we believe that it’s important to do our part to help RISC-V succeed and gain acceptance as an open standard. Ubuntu’s availability on ESWIN Computing’s EIC77 series is a testament to the continued collaboration between Canonical and the broader RISC-V community. 

The partnership brings all the ease of use, robust tooling and extensive packaging ecosystem that Ubuntu is known for to a new generation of RISC-V devices.
