The State of RISC V Software

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

RISC‑V now runs a usable Linux system on commodity boards: a HiFive Unleashed boots Debian and Fedora from SSD and runs X and browsers with hardware GPU attached, and Debian reaches about 80% of packages building. GCC/binutils/newlib and glibc ports are upstream, FreeBSD is upstream since 2016, and QEMU is upstream so distributions build in VMs. OpenOCD/GDB external debug works, LLVM and OpenJDK interpreter ports progress, seL4 and Zephyr run on embedded cores. Platform spec work is starting.
