Sick, will check it out :D
I am not expecting much, but just having one around would be pretty... well, nerdy. 😉
That said, what exactly do they run? I don't imagine they are running a full bitcoind obviously - so if I were to build my own, with like a RISC-V chip, what software would I look for?

Building a compact device for Bitcoin transaction verification is indeed a fascinating, and rather excellent, decentralization endeavour. For a RISC-V chip, you would typically implement Simplified Payment Verification (SPV), allowing light clients to confirm transactions without a full blockchain copy.
NerdMiner is the software. It's just a power efficient ASIC
