Ubuntu is serious about RISC-V, as news that its bringing Ubuntu 24.04 desktop to the Qualcomm Dragonwing Vision Kit shows

Noodling around with RISC-V emulation, writing it in Go.

Supporting the atomic extension should be doable using Go atomics, but to do it right and without resorting to unsafe, I'd have to represent memory as a slice of int32s and do bullshit to read/write anything smaller than that if I want to have any sort of ergonomics on the atomic usage.

(Assuming I wanna support more than one CPU/HART running concurrently.)

I bought an Orange Pi RV2 for experimenting with RISC-V SIMD. It works better than other Linux RISC-V SBCs I've tested. It runs a bit hot + slow compared to an RPI4, but not too bad. Has anyone gotten VSCode to run on RV64?

｢ China’s top scientists have heralded RISC-V as a path to silicon independence. India just used RISC-V to make its first homemade microprocessor. Name a country; it’s probably experimenting with RISC-V. Brazil sent a record 25 delegates to the RISC-V summit ｣

A new RISC-V SBC. 

https://news.itsfoss.com/muse-pi-pro/

Here is the desktop set up on the Mango Pi Pro #RISCV #SBC. As mentioned earlier it is running minimal #LXDE on top of a vanilla install of #Ubuntu server 24.10.

I have peeled back a few things, such as audio since the basic Ubuntu install does not have the stuff to run #HDMI #audio (I could do look into this more but eh). I will do some more tinkering with the ISO from the official Mango Pi website. Lets see how that goes

@veer66 Same. The Milk-V Pioneer looks like a promising initial attempt at being a workstation replacement, albeit with frustratingly outdated PCI-E capabilities :( That seems to be a common thread amongst #riscv chips though. I'm hopeful that a chip comes out with full-fledged PCI-E capabilities.

i am really excited to be able to teach "digital literacy" inside our program about "future skills" inside @haufegroup

we will build a gemini capsule using pi picos, and iterate incremental until full yunohosting a piece of the fediverse at home. all while touching solarpunk ethics and free software.

All parts of the calculator body are printed from wooden PLA, all boards and blocks are soldered. What remains to be written is the firmware #riscv #ch32v003 including the display drivers (along with software backlight adjustment) and the keyboard driver, based halfway through @RueNahcMohr 's ideas.

Anyway, the fun part begins

Linus Åkessons new project is absolutely brilliant!

He's using the #RaspberryPi #pico 2 - in #RISCV mode no less - to create a VGA demo with generated graphics, PWM generated soundtrack and everything.

Check the video. And if you like it, there's a lot of detail on how he does it in the post.

I'm really confused by the world of #RISCV, it looks like the instruction set keeps changing and it's hard to know which machine supports which instruction set.

To put it simply: #Ubuntu is dropping support for RVA20, presumably to move to RVA22 instead. The problem is, the only RVA22 board I can seem to find (Milk-V Jupiter) isn't supported by Ubuntu.
