Architectures/RISC-V

RISC-V (pronounced "RISC Five") is an open source instruction set architecture (ISA). This project, informally called Fedora/RISC-V, aims to get Fedora bootstrapped on the RISC-V (64 bit) architecture.

Topics

• Architectures/RISC-V/Bootstrapping - Find out how to take part in the current bootstrapping of Fedora on RISC-V, how to build RPMs, common problems, etc.
• Architectures/RISC-V/FPGA - How to run Fedora/RISC-V on real hardware (well, an FPGA).

Status: The stage3 disk image used for bootstrapping now boots to a shell, with GCC, numerous developer utilities, rpmbuild, Perl, Python 2, Python 3. rpmbuild can be used to build packages for stage4. Please read Architectures/RISC-V/Bootstrapping for further information.

An experimental stage4 disk image is available however note that RPM is broken inside the image.
