A Linux Distribution’s View on RISC-V
summary
Ubuntu treats RISC-V as a first-class architecture, shipping images for Unmatched, Unleashed, SiFive Vision S and Allwinner D1 and working on Microchip PolarFire Icicle; kernel support requires upstream patches and reasonably priced, available boards. Current platforms lack the hypervisor extension so no hypervisor extension so builds use x86 and performance is roughly Raspberry Pi 3. Binary package coverage hits 93% of x86 packages. Networking and storage get concrete work: DPDK in April Ubuntu release and SPDK in PPA, snaps and containers are supported.
