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

Last updated: 2016-09-22

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. It is missing GCC.

All packages that are built in Koji are currently being autobuilt against the stage4 disk image. The vast majority fail because of the missing GCC dependency, but a few can still be built. The autobuilder status page is here

There is no specific mailing list. Use Fedora devel for now.
