Status of RISC-V in Debian

Status of RISC-V in Debian

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi all,

worth to read (also those of previous months):

https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2022/09/msg00012.html

In a nutshell, build hardware is a key bottleneck right now. The
preferred SiFive Unmatched was discontinued so that only personal stocks
can help at this point. If anyone has an idea how to support here,
please share.

There are rumors that powerful x86 with qemu should outperform SiFive,
that could be one option.

Other one would be this, but I'm not sure when it will be ready:

This is what the RISC-V porting team does already. But it seems to be no
option for an official arch by rule. I think I read it somewhere, not
finding this anymore, though.
