Linux on RISC-V--Fedora and Firmware in practice
summary
Fedora maintains a working RISC-V port with a short history of upstream-first work, bootstrapping native riscv64 packages via cross-built rootfs then native rebuilds, and a Koji build farm producing Fedora 31/32 images. Firmware stack is usable: OpenSBI/EDK2/UEFI working with u-boot payload workflows, kernel patches landing and device trees delivered. Practical steps exist to run Fedora images on QEMU and SiFive HiFive Unleashed and some FPGA boards, using libvirt/qemu, recent qemu builds, and native builds via bootstrap or Koji to produce images for testing. Koji build farm for riscv64 supports rebuilds.
