OpenEmbedded/Yocto on RISC-V - New Kid on the Block

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

OpenEmbedded/Yocto already builds 64-bit RISC-V images: core-image-minimal, core-image-base and core-image-full-cmdline compile and run under QEMU with usermode and TAP networking, and the extensible SDK cross-builds apps that SSH into the emulator. Core support is upstreamed into openembedded-core and a meta-riscv layer provides the machine/emulator BSP. Kernel support lands in 4.15, glibc 2.27 and GCC are upstream, boot uses a bbl proxy kernel payload; 32-bit userspace, GStreamer/graphics, LTTng and sanitizers still fail and need fixes.
