Powering Up RISC-V Excellent, Secure and Maintainable Software
summary
Canonical ports Ubuntu Core to RISC‑V with 93% package coverage across supported boards, packaging apps as snap (squashfs) bundles, enabling transactional OTA updates (checks up to four times daily) with automatic rollback on failure. Devices run a locked‑down Ubuntu Core image with selective snap permissions and planned secure‑boot work, used in demos like human‑face cameras and an unofficial Moon payload; commercial support offers 10‑year ESM for long‑lived devices.
