Demo: Super-optimized Ubuntu and Open Source on RISC-V

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Canonical delivers Ubuntu builds for current RISC-V ISA (rv64/RVA20) across partner boards and reports shipping Ubuntu on the high five premier p550 (available on Arrow), having recompiled and tested roughly 30,000 packages to get a baseline distribution. Roadmap commits RV A23 support with desktop release 25.10 and LTS 26.04, and a vendor-optimized model using partner archives and custom toolchains to produce super-optimized Ubuntu images, while scalable build and server-grade hardware for CI/CD remain the main unresolved bottlenecks.
