Elizabeth Holmes says she forged pharma reports—for all the right reasons

Former CEO blames COO Balwani for overly optimistic financial projections.

Elizabeth Holmes spent over six hours on the stand yesterday, trying to make the case that, while mistakes were made, she never meant to defraud anyone.

It’s an argument that appears to rely heavily on nuance and emotion. When Holmes handed investors forged reports, did she mean to deceive them? When she shared overly optimistic financial projections, was she merely relying on the work of others? When she declined to tell investors that Theranos was using third-party devices to run blood tests—contrary to her company’s carefully cultivated public image—was she being duplicitous or merely protecting her company’s hard-won trade secrets?

How the jury interprets Holmes’ answers will likely depend on her performance under cross-examination, which has yet to begin. But her testimony yesterday attempted to paint an image of a conscientious executive who was misguided at key decision points. She and her attorneys dropped hints that, at each of those points, her intentions were noble, ranging from selflessness to trust, respect, and even motherly protectiveness.

Sipeed’s new LicheeRV is a tiny computer-on-a-module featuring a 64-bit RISC-V processor, 512MB of RAM, a microSD card for storage and a USB-C port for power and/or debugging.

While the tiny computer isn’t exactly a speed demon, with prices starting as low as $17, it’s one of the most affordable RISC-V computers to date. It also has a versatile design that will allow it to be connected to carrier boards for extended functionality.

At the heart of the LicheeRV is a 1 GHz single-core Allwinner D1 XuanTie C906 processor, the same chip used in the Nezha single-board PC that launched earlier this year for around $100 and up. The board also has 512MB of DDR3 792 MHz memory.

But the LicheeRV looks more like a stick of RAM than a typical computer. With two sets of M.2 B-Key 67-pin connectors, you should be able to slot the device into a docking board for additional I/O capabilities including HDMI, MIPI-DSI, SDIO, GPI, and Audio.

Sipeed says docking boards will be available in December.

But you don’t necessarily need a dock to use the LicheeRV. Thanks to the integrated SD card reader, USB-C port, processor, and memory, it has everything you need to get started… with the possible exception of a display if you only opt for the entry-level model. But there’s an option to pay $22 instead of $17 to get a model with a 1.14 inch magnetic SPI display that connects directly to the board.

The Sipeed LicheeRV board measures 46.2 x 25mm (1.8″ x 1″) and supports 5V, 500mAh power input. Supported operating systems include Tina and Debian Linux.

The company is also teasing an upcoming Lichee RV-86 “smart home central control development kit” that bundles the LicheeRV compute module with a 480 x 480 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, support for external speakers, a 10/100 Ethernet port, USB, and Bluetooth Low Energy. The kit gets its name from its size: it measures 86 x 86mm (3.4″ x 3.4″).
